#learning-to-code

Coding is simply the act of giving instructions to a computer. Those instructions are written in programming languages that follow specific rules, but at a beginner level, the focus is not on perfection or complexity. It is on learning how to think through problems step by step. Learning to code helps you: understand how websites and applications work break problems into smaller, manageable pieces think logically and clearly about processes build confidence through hands-on creation develop skills that transfer across many roles

Interaction and Events: While creating code, the all-male pairs interacted more with the SCRATCH interface than the all-female pairs. The all-male pairs moved blocks around significantly more often than all-female pairs (p = 0.041). Similarly, boys changed the parameters of an existing block more than the girls (p = 0.060). Dragging a new block out of the toolbox is also done more often by the all-male pairs, but not with such a distinct difference (p = 0.093).
