OMG coding
is GR8!
I used this presentation to introduce 12 year old children to coding. !
To me, James Bonds is a superhero that solves mysteries. And I was trying to communicate to kids that learning code gives a superhero feeling.
I build websites
Hi guys!
I build websites
It’s like playing with Legos!
but… what’s the opposite of building?
destroy websites!
destroy websites! and I can do that too
destroy websites! and I can do that too
!
…well not really !
But let’s imagine to destroy the website
of your school
But let’s imagine to destroy the website
of your school !
That would be fun!
But let’s imagine to destroy the website
of your school !
That would be fun!
kids agree
?who am I
James Bond
James Bond cool superhero
James Bond cool superhero
!
finds secrets solves puzzles saves the day
When I code
I feel like
Mike
James Bond cool superhero
?why
anything
is
possible!
And make
some great
Friends
But let’s
Destory! …just pretending
Your school’s website
remember Lego blocks?
remember Lego blocks?
If we look at webpages from a different angle, you’ll see how they are
similar
Your school’s website in 3D
Your school’s website in 3D
Your school’s website in 3D
the website is like a bunch of
blocks
and we
can
destroy
blocks!
looking at the code of a web page, we can
alter it. Sort of like changing one of the blocks
my hypothesis (my guess)
If Will.I.Am came to the school, more kids would love to
come to the school
the kids agreed
and so let’s imagine see what that could look like by changing
some code
and so let’s imagine that
and so let’s imagine thatcode rocks!
…10 minutes
…10 minutes we made Will.I.Am
part of the school
…10 minutes we made Will.I.Am
part of the school !
by modifying code
…10 minutes we made Will.I.Am
part of the school !
and the kids loved it!
…and so we concluded by saying
anything
is
possible!
