Discussion topics

"Visual Programming" as topic, introduced by Vyagh

Q: [...] without friction of texts?

Walter: not so much that, but rather details of syntax

MB is based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)

It also makes programming more accessible to more people

Devin noted that we should also keep in mind accessibility for the blind.

Tutorial by Ashutosh -- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hvrgz541quM_vQ_1E-avGdGNl37dPNu7p3Gdtw-dKlE/edit?tab=t.0

Devin's thoughts:

  • Motivation, Engaging, Progress

Concepts; Time for Open-Ended, developing good habits for structuring ideas and problem solving

Thing is absent from a lot of Constructionist Projects is Reflection

  • Tutorial
