An Educator, a mom and a female.
As starting my new initiative with Dalton, I'm retiring this website and will migrate all its content to a new site - Alignment Edu. Please update your bookmarks and visit our new online home. We will share our passion of AI in Education, Learning Technologies and MakerEd on the new site with accessible resources.
The current site will remain accessible until 31 January 2025, after which it will be shut down. I appreciate your understanding during this transition.
Thank you for your continued support!
Kind regards,
Cora Yang

🧘🏽 Challenge 1: Code a Happy Place Meditation App
Sometimes, coding can feel frustrating for kids (and grown-ups!). We might work really hard to create a project, but one small bug (coding mistake) can crash the whole thing. At times we might feel angry, discouraged, or sad. When we are emotionally charged, it can make it even harder to find and fix bugs.
Practicing mindfulness and meditation can help us improve focus and reduce stress. Through things like guided breathing, you can learn how to focus your attention on the present moment and calm the worried mind.
Coding language: Block-based Code
Platform: Scratch
Your final project might function like this example, but the happy places in yours will be unique to you and your preferences!

🚲 Challenge 2: Biking with Scratch
Let's code a project that we can do a virtual exercise on Scratch. The purpose of this project is to let people have fun playing the biking game. Meanwhile, let them know that REAL biking is also exciting.
We want to use this project to raise awareness of good physical wellbeing. #codeforgood
Coding language: Block-based Code
