Suite Tower, Third Floor – Beckham Room

Students, as young as 1st grade can be introduced to coding concepts way before they ever maneuver their first block of code. In the session, we will show you how to teach coding concepts without the actual code! We will be demonstrating different techniques to get students to think like programmers so they can understand the functions behind writing code. With these basic techniques, students should be able to dive into actual coding with more confidence and better understanding of what code should do.
