5 What is coding & Why should I learn to code? Coding, in the simplest of terms, is telling a computer what you want it to do, which involves typing in step-by-step commands for the computer to follow. Computers are not clever things, however they are very obedient. They will do exactly what you want them to do, so long as you tell them how to do it correctly. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/coding-classroom-what-coding-why-it-so-important-1463157 http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/coding-classroom-what-coding-why-it-so-important-1463157 Now What?

8 Coding Apps

9 Daisy The Dinosaur Daisy The Dinosaur (k-2) (Ages 7 +) Learn the basics of computer programming with Daisy the Dinosaur! This free, fun app has an easy drag and drop interface that kids of all ages can use to animate Daisy to dance across the screen. This introduces K-3 the logic behind basic programming. Platform: ipad

10 Kodable Kodable introduces kids to the kind of logic and the concepts needed in computer programming. The free version includes the first lesson, Smeeborg, which introduces kids to the step-by- step instructions involved in programming, if/then statements, and loops. Platform:Ipad app (free)/ online PC ($$$)

11 Scratch JrScratch Jr. (k-2) (Ages 5-7) ScratchJr is an introductory programming language that enables young children to create their own interactive stories and games. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Platform: iPad and Android tablets

12 LightbotLightbot: check out this short video: https://lightbot.com/https://lightbot.com/ Lightbot is a programming puzzle game- a game whose game mechanics require using programming logic to solve levels. This short teaser is meant to introduce players to programming who may have little to no experience. Anyone, anywhere, from grades K-12 can play, have fun and learn real programming logic! PlatformsPlatforms: Android, iOS, Web browser, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS

13 The Foos: (Ages 5 +) This App includes several increasingly challenging drag-and-drop coding puzzles that introduce kids to the logic of programming using visual blocks of code. *** My students loved this app! Platform: iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Fire phone, Kindle Fire, WindowsiPhoneiPod TouchiPadAndroidFire phoneKindle FireWindows

14 The Foos

15 HopscotchHopscotch: (Ages 9-11) This award-winning app lets you make your own games and publish them instantly for anyone to play. Use our super easy-to-follow videos to make games like Angry Birds, create pixel art, or build something brand new. Platform: ipad, iphone, ipod

17 Robotics

18 Dash and Dot ($50 for dot, $150 for dash) Children learn through play. Combining a real robot with coding fires up a child’s imagination, inspires dreams, and builds confidence.

19 Spero Spero ($129.00) Sphero is a robotic ball and unlike any other game you've seen before. It's a robotic ball gaming device that you control with a tilt, touch, or swing of your smartphone or tablet. Compatible with both iOS and Android, Sphero delivers a unique mixed-reality experience.

20 OzobotOzobot ($59.99) Expand your child’s horizons with the help of Ozobot - the tiny smart robot. There is no end to the possibilities, as your child creates a different landscape of adventures, games and coding with Ozobot.

21 Engineering

22 STEAM Hands ON! Legos ($56.00 for 720) K’nex ($26.00 for 705) Snap circuits ($42.00) Little Bits ($99.00 base kit) MagnaTiles ($119.00 for 100) Zoobs ($62.00 for 500) Pixels ($8.00 scholastics) Makey Makey ($49.95)
