Todays lecture was a brief introduction to coding as only a few students in the cohort had done coding before. Rich McCue https://richmccue.com came in again to teach us a little bit about coding. He introduced us to a few different resources to learn and practice coding. The one I used was Scratch https://scratch.mit.edu. On scratch the character is a cat and you can drag puzzle pieces to create a code to make the cat do and say different t things. You can also change what the cat looks like and how it sounds. I lost the cat out of my view screen so Rich showed us how to add a code to make the cat start back to the centre of the screen again. To do this we set the X and Y coordinates to 0. Other resources he told us about were Grasshopper https://grasshopper.app, Hour of Code https://hourofcode.com/ca/learn, TinkerCad https://www.tinkercad.com, and Code BC http://codebc.ca.
