<![CDATA[Coding with Kodable]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2015 19:34:47 GMT/kits/coding-with-kodableThis program uses an app, Kodable, to teach young children the basic concepts of coding. Kids have to direct a fuzz ball along a path using arrows as commands. The idea is the alien fuzz balls don’t know anything and won’t do anything until given very specific commands. Students are also given the opportunity to correct erroneous code to make the fuzz ball correctly move.
