So You Want to Code? Cool!

When we looked at binary numbers and compared them to our lovely Base 10 Decimal number system some of you mentioned that you were interested in learning to code.

You don't have to wait to be shown or taught, you can access so many wonderful learning tools on the internet.

Amazing people have produced The Hour of Code, where you can start coding in just one hour.

They have many different types of code to learn so it doesn't have to end after one hour.

Why learn to code? It's everywhere



Where to begin:

Try these one hour sessions from the Hour of Code
Make your own Flappy Bird game
Figure out a few mazes with Bill Gates
Create beautiful spirals and designs
Star Wars fun - this one is new, I haven't tried it yet. Exciting!
