The code may look different, but the thinking doesn’t.

Block coding is a great way to introduce programming—but moving to text-based code doesn’t mean students have to start over. The sequencing, logic, problem-solving, and debugging skills students develop with blocks become the foundation for what comes next.

In this interactive webinar, we’ll explore how educators can help students make the transition from visual block coding to text-based programming while building on the skills and confidence they already have. We’ll look at how familiar concepts such as sequencing, loops, variables, conditions, events, problem-solving, and debugging carry forward even when the code begins to look very different.
