Students will use iPads to teach the basics of computer programming in a fun and age-appropriate way. This visual, drag-and-drop programming language enables young children to create their own interactive stories and games. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Children can modify characters, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves — then use the programming blocks to make their characters come to life.
