Pencil Code teacher PD

Coding and the learning of other digital and online skills have recently been formalised in the New Zealand curriculum. I facilitated an in-house coding/machine thinking professional development session using pencilcode.net.

I set up a series of challenges that increased in difficulty from simply moving a pen holding turtle forward to creating a smiley face on a blue background. See the challenges below.


Everyone was focussed and worked hard on their challenges.
