The hour of code - Khan academy


 Hi! We are Caro and Oli, we are from the team 3, and today we would like to introduce you the Khan Academy. 

Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by Salman Khan with the goal of creating an accesible place to educate people by using social media. The organization produces short lectures in form of videos. 
Our teacher asked us to do some coding projects and challenges. Here are a few: 

Challenge: Simple Snowman


Project: Super Snowman


Drawing with codes: there are different types of coding "names"called commands. These will help us to draw whatever shape we want to do. After the type the command for example ellipse (for a circle), we will have to place our shape in a specific place in the blank space. What we mean by that is we have to put four different numbers (depends on the command you have written). This numbers will modificate the height, width and position of the shape you choose. 

Painting with code:  in case you would like to paint a background or a specific shape you will have to use specific commands for this. If you want to paint the background we will type "background". If you want to pain just a shape you have to type "fill" BEFORE you type the other commands. Because it paints all the codes you've typed after it. 


That's all! We hoped you found this blog interesting and informative. Thank you for your time!
