This document outlines an introduction to coding and creating with code presented by Linda V. Nitsche and Erin Van Guilder. It discusses how coding is a core and vital skill that is behind many everyday objects and applications. The presentation is divided into three parts: getting started with basic coding tools like Logo and Scratch, stepping up coding skills with programs like Alice and game/app design, and making and mixing by combining hardware like Makey Makey and Arduino with coding. The goal is to help more people understand how coding works and to view computers not just as black boxes but as programmable objects.

11. Computers for most people are
black boxes. I believe kids should
understand objects are ‘smart’ not
because they are just smart, but
because someone programmed
them to be smart.
