STEP ONE
Go to this website, and choose one of three themes to work with!
https://code.org/playlab

STEP TWO
Watch the Hour of Code introduction video!

STEP THREE
Work through the levels; once you've got a good grasp of the fundamentals of coding (the coding we're doing today is called 'Javascript' coding), move to the final level. From there, you'll be creating a free form story!

STEP FOUR
When you've finished your story/video game short, click 'Run', and then 'Finish'. You'll be provided with a video link of your completed product. Click on the 'comments' section and attach it!]]> 2017-10-11 16:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/techclubbeginnercoding/wish/196121555 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/techclubbeginnercoding/wish/196843298 Music Tech Experts
