The Computer Coding Class will teach the students the basics of Computer coding such as fixed and flexible sequences, algorithms, loops and bugs. This course will use the Tynker app. on the 4H I-pads and several hands on activities using Shpero’s, Ollies and EV3 Robots to show the students how to create their own computer codes to complete coding task.
