Scratch, Variables, and Computational Thinking

Published by Mike Neumire on 8/2/2024

New York State's Computer Science and Digital Fluency standards are a set of standards that tackle important computer concepts to prepare our students for a technology-dominated future. Computational thinking is a large component of those standards, covering topics like algorithms, variables, debugging, and conditional statements. Scratch is a block-based coding platform that makes it easy to understand what variables are and why they're important.
