Engaging coding application for younger students!

I think because coding is very difficult to understand with the age group I was working with, scratch jr really helped to show the basic cause and effect for learners. By no means is this an app to completely take over a coding lesson at a higher level, but for young kids who are interested in learning about the topic and how to code, this is a great start for kids to a head start and learn the basic introduction. I would like to see more inputs that the students themselves can write, it feels a little easy sometimes for them, like matching and doing a puzzle.

My take on it is that I really believe that this program can benefit young children learn a form of coding that helps with problem solving while making it easy for the user to see results of their code in real time. Allowing for students to go back and debug in order to receive the desired outcome. Kids can also modify the code to tell a story and customize the characters in their story.

Good program. Students are able to tell there own stories and use imagination.
