How to Teach Students to Code There are several approaches to teaching students to code. These include using a comprehensiv...
A few years ago,my group(opens in new tab)in Microsoft’s research organization began to experiment with tools that make it possible for kids to learn how to code in the context ofMinecraft(opens in new tab), the wildly popular game where players build fantastical virtual worlds out of dig...
The Upswing of Awesome is when you've finally found a path through the desert and pulled together an understanding of how to build applications. But your code is still siloed and brittle like a house of cards. You gain confidence because your sites appear to run, you've mastered a few us...
When first learning to code, it’s easy to feel like a deer in the headlights; everything is unfamiliar and new. It's like learning to play a new instrument or a foreign language—what is this and what the heck am I doing? I completely understand. When
