Coding with Nature

Can you learn to code and enjoy nature at the same time? Yes! This book takes kid-coders from the screens out into the world around them while still expanding their coding knowledge and their brain's ability to think in “computer speak.” The main content introduces six basic coding ideas—algorithms, sequences, loops, variables, branching, and decomposition—in an age-appropriate and interesting way. Three screen-free, nature-focused activities throughout the book encourage understanding of these concepts and engage readers with a scavenger hunt, a treasure hunt, and more.
