App Creating Musical Story Worlds by Coding
“Coding, the Musical,“ by TechSpaghetti, is a free interactive app designed for iOS mobile devices that introduces children aged 4–8, specifically girls, to coding as they create characters and build musical story worlds. “Coding, the Musical” engages girls in computer science in a fun, playful, and creative environment; no coding knowledge is needed. The app includes 20 animated interactive stories, 60 songs, and 40 games that develop the fundamental coding concepts of logical thinking and sequencing. Story World 1 introduces arrays, directional functions, and Booleans. Story World 2 expands to variables and conditions. With oral instructions and guidance provided, children don’t have to be able to read. The “Coding, the Musical” method was developed by an elementary school teacher, in consultation with numerous developers, and with the help of children and parents around the world. Cost: Free
