I just spoke to 80 first graders about programming for career day.(jimmyjacobson.github.io) |
I defined code as the words computers understand.
I defined a program as a story made up of code that a computer knows how to read.
A couple of the great questions I got were "Do you like your job?" and "Do you like typing all day?"
And as soon as I plugged in the projector the entire classroom erupted with shouts of "Mario!!!!"
What really prompted me to ask was the "The princess is in another castle" reference at the end.
