Computer Programming


This month the girls began an introduction to computer programming by learning about Ada Lovelace.  In 1843, Ada Lovelace became known as the first computer programmer and predicted the future of technology.  During Ada Week, October 13-17th, we watched various short video clips and read articles about her life.  The girls then chose to create a Popplet or book in Book Creator about Ada’s life.  Now we are working in Scratch Jr., an app that teaches the basics of computer programming.
