Khan Academy- The hour of code

  Hello!
   Today we are going to talk about our last class project, that was drawing with code. First if we didn't have an Khan Academy account, we needed to create us one. And for you, which have no idea of what Khan Academy is: It's a free  platform, that offers a personalized learning resource, for all ages. We began the hour of code (drawing with code). The objective of this porject is that you learn to encode, following step by step rules. To achive this you may see some good videos that already are in Khan Academy. Then you will be ready to make the first challenges, which are the most simple. And to finish there is a final challenge that is more complicated than the first, so it requires more creativity and skills.


Here we let you this videos for you to understand better:







Here you have an example of how you can change the command to look like you want to.
First you have to put a logic number so the form appears on your screen, and then you change it in the way you want to look it, like in this image.




There are many types of forms to do, here you can see some of them:

There are so much things you can do with the commands, like putting color on every form you want, you can make rectangles(putting the right command), triangles, points, lines, arcs and much more.
Basically you can do everything you want.

This is how it look my finished project



Like I said there are a few challenges that you have to make and before each challenge there are somo videos that explain how you have to do it. For each part you can earn points. If you wach the videos you will get some points, if you do correctly the ercercise you also will get some points.

Maximal points for each task:


  • challenge completed: 1500 points

  • video watched : 750 points

  • project completed: 2100 points



This is the energy I earned, because I made the project


There are so many challenges, if you want to know more about programming, you can search in Khan academy the hour of code and you can begin it and earn your own energy. 
I hope you will so and good luck learning. 

I let you a video so you kmow how to sign up in Khan academy;
