Coding is the another word for "software programming".
Coding is where people tell computers what to do.
When coding, we write instructions in a language the computer will understand. Unfortunately, computers don't understand English, so we have to use a programming language.
For coding, there are lots of programming languages. We have chosen VizWik because it is drag-and-drop and works right away!
When you are ready to learn another language, check out suggestions at Code.org.
In this activity, we'll be using VizWik.
If you don't have Google Chrome, you can try these options.
The good folks at Code.org made a video to encourage all young people to try coding.
