Is scratch coding?
So sometimes we get asked if Scratch is real coding? And I would argue yes in a sense as it teaches the child necessary computer logic and how code blocks fit together. And who knows? With services in AI (artificial intelligence) like ChatGPT we may not be typing code soon anymore, but the logic will always be needed in the brain.
We encourage students to use the live chat support for our scratch coding class online with any questions that they may have along the way. See the syllabus here.
