Intro to MS Make Code (Eat the Food)
by Robert Lane
MS MakeCode is the perfect stepping stone into the world of Scratch. Students will be able to create a working video game in one class period. As we all know classic video games were not built over night. This lesson allows for students to modify their original games and make them better. This lesson shows how you can take software and add that code to hardware MS MakeCode Arcade consoles. MS MakeCode is easier than you have ever imagined thanks to this introduction lesson teaching you the basics. This lesson has great video step-by-step tutorials teaching you how to roll out the fundamentals of computer science in a fun and engaging way that will not overwhelm you or your students.
