2 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
From the computer science nonprofit Girls Who Code comes this lively and funny story introducing kids to computer coding concepts. All summer, Pearl has been trying to build the perfect sandcastle, but out-of-control Frisbees and mischievous puppies keep getting in the way! Pearl and her robot friend Pascal have one last chance, and this time, they’re going to use code to get the job done. Using fundamental computer coding concepts like sequences and loops, Pearl and Pascal are able to break down their sandcastle problem into small, manageable steps. If they can create working code, this could turn out to be the best beach day ever! With renowned computer science nonprofit Girls Who Code, Josh Funk and Sara Palacios use humor, relatable situations, and bright artwork to introduce kids to the fun of coding.

Phenomenal book to introduce children to the idea of coding without overwhelming them with actual code. They will still learn how to break down a task and basic coding vocabulary.

Thanks to @kidlitexchange #partner for sharing How to Code a Sandcastle with me pre-pub! This is definitely a teaching book that I will be ordering and using as my intro for my summer school coding class! The bright illustrations made me feel like I was in summer on an overcast WI day.

Pearl does a great job of teaching her robot, Pascal, the exact steps he needs to do to build a proper sandcastle.
