Fantastic work on finishing your coding adventure!Â
You've learned a lot, from what coding is to making your own stories, games, and animations in Scratch. But before we say goodbye to our adventure, let's think back on some big questions we talked about at the start:
How can we give instructions to computers so we can make awesome computer programs on our phones, computers, and tablets?
How do algorithms help us every day? And in what ways can we use them to figure out puzzles or problems?
Now, it's time for some reflection. Think about these questions and share your answers in the Padlet below.
What does it mean to think like a programmer? How does thinking like a programmer help you?
How can the skills you learned in this lesson help you in school subjects, at home, or when you're playing with friends?
If you could create a computer program to make a better world, what would it be and why? Dream big! What's a project you would love to make happen?
Finally, as we end our lesson, let's think about this:
If the people who code are the ones making computers do amazing things, who is really the smart one? Is it the computer, or the person who's coding?
The magic behind the machine and what makes a computer smart are people like you and me who know how to code! Learning how to code will help you gain the power to invent new solutions that make life better for everyone in the future.
You are now ready for more challenging coding adventures.
