After grasping the basic concepts of programming building blocks the previous day, Hunter explored algorithms in solving visual problems using Blockly.
The simple challenges on Blockly Games were a great help, as they helped Hunter solve problems that gradually increased in complexity.
At the end of each solution review, Hunter reflected on what he had learnt and started to look at the Javascript code generated from Blockly. Although the logic was getting a bit harder for him to wrap his head around, it was clear that he enjoyed working on these challenges, and seemed to get a hang of what programming was about.
At the end of the two-hour session, both of us suspected that the real fun on this project was just about to begin.
