Easy way to involve young students in coding!

Overall, this is an amazing product made by a major player in the computing and STEAM educational industry: Microsoft. Many electronics engineers are designing educational products to use MakeCode. Do search for Maker MakeCode to see the additional boards supported besides the ones on the MakeCode site. https://maker.makecode.com/#editor . We will be using this to teach basic electronics using solderless tie-hole breadboards (plastic blocks) and jumper wires and components (push button, buzzer, LED light bulb et.) Also, there is a MakeCode community on both the Github repository, Adafruit discussion forum and BrainPad at GHI electronics forum for more teacher support. I am involved in the afterschool program of Boys and Girls Club in our public schools. Lastly, please, please keep in mind that MakeCode is a JavaScript based system. There are two tabs shown on the monitor screen ; one for the block coding and a second one showing the text code in Java. Older students can actually see their text code change as they move blocks around by switching between tabs. Also, I have found that as I change coding in the Java tab (color code from RED to PURPLE or music note to be played in Hz. ) the blocks change instantly to reflect these changes and therefore the simulator also changes. I believe Java is used for web site construction among other uses so parents will realize that their student is learning real life knowledge assets using MakeCode. I will answer any questions (if I have the answers) asked by anyone if you visit the above discussion groups or my MakeCode and Hardware YouTube Channel.
