Why attend this event?
Tomorrow’s leaders must understand the logic and processes used to program computers and other smart devices. Even if someone will not become a programmer, the majority of future careers will involved digital skills in some parts of the job.
What will Scouts do at this event?
Game-based learning introduces Scouts and Explorers to the basic building blocks of coding. Then, youth are challenged to think of an idea for an app that helps solve a sustainability problem.
