The Hour Of Code

Hi there, how are you?

Today Alexa and I are talking about something called the hour of code. This is something we learned about at a great website called Khan Academy. This is, in our opinion, the best website for learning any topic you want to learn about. So go on, visit it, I'm sure you're going to love it.

For the class of informatic, we entered to Khan Academy and logged in. The teacher gave us a lot of things to do, we had to sign up in Khan Academy and complete the challenges/projects given by the program.

Here is a challenge that we had to do:

It has basic and simple codes that helps as to do all the projects!

For example this project...

If you’d like to see the entire code: <Code>

  

Here we have some important concepts you need to know if you are interested in coding: (three concepts related to the contents studied in the class)

• When you use coding to, for example draw a snowman, you use specific commands or functions. This is a very important concept you need to know if you want to code. We could say, that a command is a set of words that gives the server a simple instruction he knows how to follow. For example, if we use the command known as ellipse, type some numbers inside the parenthesis and write a semicolon at the end, the server will immediately know what to do: draw a circle.
• When we talk about commands and functions we realize something: they have a lot in common with algorithms. These are also a set of instructions that follow a certain order so they can work: if you don't write them in a certain order, you might not be able of drawing or creating what you want to.
• Another concept we use and learn in class before is input and output. When we write the code we are giving an input to the computer and the output is the result of our code, for example a line in this case. The instruction we give is the input and the respond is the output.

Here are highlighted in yellow my earned badges and my earned energy points 

We win poins when we compleat the activitys given by KhanAcademy and the badges are given by different reasons wich you can see in the photo below.
