Hour of Code

Today I participated in the Hour of Code.  It was recommended to me by one of my professors at the University of Montana.  Many (many) years ago I enrolled in a coding class and I'll admit it wasn't the best experience for me.  I decided that source code and I mix like oil and water!  With this in mind I embarked on my hour of code with a bit more trepidation than some other activities. 

I'm happy to report that I had a really good time coding!  I was excited to see many options for coding (all of which are appropriate for anyone age 6 to 106):

• Star Wars
• Minecraft
• Artist
• Anna and Elsa (From "Frozen" movie)
• Make a Flappy Game
• Infinity Play Lab
• Play Lab

I chose to be a digital artist for an hour.  The program led me through nine tutorials before I was able to create my own drawing.  Here is the link to my finished product:

I'm excited to try coding with Anna and Elsa next because I want to try to build a snowflake! 
I'll update again when I'm finished!
