Playing Turtle Blocks!
Turtle Blocks is a fun way to educate
children how to code by allowing them to create art with the basic coding languages. Languages such as "repeat" are important keywords of coding. Art is created by programming elements which are integrated in the
activity. Thus, Turtle Blocks can serve as an entertaining yet educational way
for children to learn how to code inside or outside the classroom. Thus, using this program especially during class will want its users to utilize it even more by themselves at home because of the several things they can do.
How:
1. Where to find
