Week of Code Day 1: Emojis...A Global Language
When we think of community, we think of the towns and neighborhoods we live in. We also think of our friends at church, sports practices and games, and at school. Coding opens up the opportunity to be part of a larger community...a global community. This can be challenging though. In order to make friends and build a community people need to be able to communicate in a positive way. If people are speaking different languages it makes it hard to understand what the other person is saying. That is where emojis come in. View two of the videos below to learn more about who invented emojis and how emojis are created.
