Coding Sites

 

Made with Code - Designed to introduce and encourage girls to code.  Numerous projects to complete online and ideas and resources to continue to girls in coding. 

 

Tinkercad - Use Tinkercad’s CAD software to design 3D objects, such as prototypes, toys, practical tools, replacement parts, Minecraft models, jewelry, and more. Users can create objects from scratch with the site’s building blocks, from the extensive collection of community designs, or by importing and modifying 2D or 3D object files. Users can share designs in the community and do collaborative work, and designs can be exported for 3D printing. (AASL Best Websites)

 

Tynker Coding - Tynker is a well-designed app for children ages four and up and it features step-by-step, visual instructions for children to learn code. There are numerous activities (including the creation of Minecraft mods for more experienced users), but the main draw of the app is the visual representations and manipulations of the individual commands. Children are shown the steps in the code as interlocking puzzle pieces that they select and assemble to achieve different results. They can then execute their codes and immediately see how/if they worked; this combination of visual and trial/error learning is very effective. Users begin with block-based programming and can then advance to JavaScript, Python, HTML and CSS. (parentschoice.org)
