Our Kindergarten class received a hands-on lesson from Becca Esplin, who explained in basic terms, how to code. Students were taught the fundamentals of computer science, beginning with a simple paper maze where students could manipulate a small piece of paper to simulate the commands of drag and drop. Using these same ideas students were asked to demonstrate their ability to click, drag, & drop, click and hold down on an object in order to delete it, select characters and change backgrounds using the iPad app, Scratch Jr. Although young, these kindergarten students were able to prove their capability of performing simplified coding and had a ball while doing it!
