Celebrate Presidents’ Day With Creative Coding!

Posted by jglassman on

With Creative Coding, BrainPOP’s new text- and block-based coding tool, students can “show what they know” about the presidents and the presidency.

From building a museum exhibit honoring a favorite president to coding a political debate, assign some or all of these presidential coding projects. Best part of all — no coding experience required!
