New Tool for Teaching Kids to Code [youtube] Intro to computer science just became Harvard’s most popular freshman class, outpacing economics, the campus paper reports. Yet in most K-12 classrooms, the subject is rarely taught. Instead of learning a language such as Java or Python, as they would in an Advanced Placement or college course, students manipulate blocks of logic that, if properly sequences, will draw a shape or move a character. Code Studio’s interface is similar to MIT’s Scratch, but uses HTML5 and thus can run in most browsers, and there are puzzle-based lesson plans. Meanwhile, another effort to expand the ranks of aspiring young computer scientists and engineers just received the first TechCrunch Include Grant of $50,000.

Sesión 01 - Aprendo Scratch Introducción “La competencia digital” debe hacer referencia a diseñar, crear y remezclar; no simplemente a navegar, comunicar e interactuar. El poder de participar en esta competencia debe de estar al alcance de todos. Es esto precisamente, lo que motivo el desarrollo de Scratch hace seis años; crear un lenguaje de programación que permita a personas sin experiencia previa crear historias interactivas, animaciones, juegos, música y arte, así como compartirlos en Internet. Hoy esa motivación esta hecha realidad, Scratch le da el poder de la programación a todas las personas, independientemente de su edad, experiencia previa o intereses para diseñar y crear sus propios proyectos, así como remezclar proyectos de otras personas. Desde su lanzamiento al público en Mayo de 2007, el sitio Web de Scratch ( se ha convertido en una vibrante comunidad en línea, integrada por personas que comparten, intercambian ideas y remezclan programas propios con los de otros.

Paul Ford: What is Code? | Bloomberg A computer is a clock with benefits. They all work the same, doing second-grade math, one step at a time: Tick, take a number and put it in box one. Tick, take another number, put it in box two. Tick, operate (an operation might be addition or subtraction) on those two numbers and put the resulting number in box one. Tick, check if the result is zero, and if it is, go to some other box and follow a new set of instructions. You, using a pen and paper, can do anything a computer can; you just can’t do those things billions of times per second. Apple has always made computers; Microsoft used to make only software (and occasional accessory hardware, such as mice and keyboards), but now it’s in the hardware business, with Xbox game consoles, Surface tablets, and Lumia phones. So many things are computers, or will be. When you “batch” process a thousand images in Photoshop or sum numbers in Excel, you’re programming, at least a little. 2.1 How Do You Type an “A”? It’s simple now, right?
