At this month's coding event, the students really began to find their feet, as the challenge increased. The problems were a little more intricate than they'd expected and many were excited to be working so hard.Students were broken into teams, for the most part, and those teams worked with one another to propose solutions to the various problems.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, coding problems usually take the form, "Write a program that does this, then this, then this." One of the example we worked on had the students write a program that asked a few questions and put the answer together in a cogent sentence.
The most exciting thing about the coding project, for many of the students, is there are multiple ways to achieve the same result. Some are more elegant than others for sure, but working out the less elegant ones can lead to new shortcuts and innovations. Over the coming months, the students will continue to refine their skills. Stay tuned for more updates as our journey continues.
