The Young Coders Society held another fantastic coding session with a group of 5th and 6th graders from around the Boston area. Meeting at a friend's house in Concord, MA, the group dove into the fun with an introduction to what programming is and how it controls the world around us. Student's were given a primer on Python, how it works and the ways in which we, as programmers, can use it to build fun games and applications. We worked as a team to complete simple tasks in Minecraft, all the while getting more and more comfortable writing commands using the programming language. Finally, we had a competition to see who could destroy the largest portion of the Minecraft map using nothing but their new Python coding skills and some imagination.
