Introduction to Block-Based Programming

Learning Goals

• Develop facility in block-based programming by creating custom blocks and drawing on the stage.
• Explore the concept of recursion by encoding the Fibonacci sequence.
• Understand how block-based programming fosters learning by visualizing units of computation.
