Getting Ready for Your Code.org CS Fundamentals Workshop

When I lead code.org workshops, I bring with robots and other tools to help teach Computational Thinking (CT). In order to have more time to work with these tools, you could complete 10 puzzles in Code Studio ahead of time.

Here are some videos to help you get started:

Completing 10 puzzles in Code Studio

You could complete 10 puzzles in any of the courses A-F.
Go to the following link to choose the course that is best for you.

In this example, there are seven puzzles complete. You can see that the puzzles are complete because the shapes are filled in with a solid green color.
