And you don't even need to be a techie to make it happen; in fact, many activities in this new book from tech champion Kroski dispense with a screen altogether in favor of twister boards, masking tape grids, or bowling pins. Other activities are built around affordable software or tech toys like Scratch Jr., Scratch, Bee-Bot, or Code-a-Pillar. Organized by age group, and complete with step-by-step guidance on everything from learning outcomes to an estimated budget, projects include\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eteaching coding to preschoolers with beads, pipe cleaners, and elastic string;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003echoreographing music videos with Ozobots;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eprogramming Mad Libs-style games using Python;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eteaching algorithms with story mapping, pattern play, or mazes;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eusing Scratch for digital dress-up or meme remixes;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eteam-building and outreach with robots;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edrop-in programs for exploration and unstructured play; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eteaching adults with Lynda.com or Meetup partners.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book's structured presentation will help both school librarians and programming staff at public libraries quickly scan for projects that fit their needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46419354779799,"sku":"9780838918722","price":7986.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780838918722.webp?v=1769074170","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/60-ready-to-use-coding-projects-9780838918722","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
