CS 1-2

Students are writing code in a visual coding language called Snap to make a picture with commands like "get paint color", "go to", "brush down", "move 20 steps", etc. When the design is complete we paint the picture using our Watercolor Bot for students to take home. If you know someone in CS 1-2, ask to see what they made!
