Learning to code

Scott and the boys like to play an app called Codable.  The goal is to 'program' the game so the fuzzy ball takes the correct route through the maze to collect all the coins.  They drag arrows into a row and can hit 'play' to see if their program works.  If not, they can adjust the arrows then try to play again.  

Occasionally, they'll have a colored square that they need to drag onto a square with an arrow.  This tells the program when you get to the colored square, go the direction of the arrow.  Liam had to explain the colored squares to me, I did not understand their purpose!



Once they finish their program and play it, they will get advanced to  new level that's a bit tougher.  It's very impressive to watch both boys play it - I love all of the skills it is teaching them!
