Introduction & Overview
This introduction to teaching coding in the classroom will give you an overview of what to expect over this course. Soon you'll get young people to engage with coding through physical computing, use storytelling to make coding fun, and much more.
What Is Coding
What is code? This is an explanation of what code is, how computers use it, and where we can find it in the world around us.

Getting Help
Taylor and Joanna from the education team at Kano explain the importance of playing with the Technology, working with others and posing questions to your students and where to get help.
What Is Computational Thinking
Computers are great at following instructions, if you tell a computer to solve a problem; it can do it much faster than you can.
What Is Sequencing
Think of an algorithm like a recipe, with step by step instructions that must be followed in the right order. If the instructions are not done in the right order, you won’t get the results you expected.
Loops In Plain English
Loops are a set of instructions that are carried out repeatedly, Jon will explain how they are used in the coding classroom.
Loops Examples
Loops are useful for when you want something to keep happening until a certain condition has been met. Matthew demonstrates different examples of loops within the Kano kit.
What Are Conditionals
Life is often about making one decision after another, and we make decisions based on the information we know about the world around us.
Loops Workshop
This workshop is based around loops and how children can apply this in practical situations.

Variables In Plain English
In computer science there are two types of data values 'Constants' and 'Variables'. Jon explains what variables are in coding and shows some examples of them.
What Are Variables
Variables are simply a way for the computer to store data that might change each time we run the programme.
Conditionals Examples
When computers make decisions or carry out an action they use true or false statements called conditionals. Matthew demonstrates examples of these conditionals within the Kano kit.
