Snow Day: Unplugged Coding

 If we get the snow or ice forecasted, we’re all going to need some ideas.  What about unplugged coding?  This article’s Code a Friend’, ‘A Loopy Routine, etc are ideal for siblings.  It has simple activities, such as origami, to help kiddos understand the concepts underlying coding.  Start with ASCII Code and make a Binary Bracelet, necklace, code with Twizzlers, knit in Binary Code (I knit a scarf in binary.), create a game with egg cartons, and Code a Snowman.  If your wifi doesn’t crash, learn to code with MIT’s Scratch.  We needed a book to work through the steps to get the kitty to jump.   I hope everyone impacted by the up-coming storm stays safe!
