The hour of code - Drawing with code

                           

Last week we have been working on this page called Khan Academy. We can select the subject that we want to know more about, like maths or language. We had worked on the project called The hour of code. On these site we need to work on some challenges, watch some videos and do three projects.

Khan Academy is a non-profit^] educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan with a goal of creating an accessible place for people to be educated.The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos. Its website also includes supplementary practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available to users of the website. The website and its content are provided mainly in English, but are also available in other languages like Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, French, Bangla and Hindi.

This is a photo of the logo of Khan Academy:



This picture shows the list of activities with the time of code:

One of the videos that we watched taught us how to create circles, rectangles, triangles and lines. Each shape has its own code. For exaple, if I want to do a rectangle I must write the word rect. I must also open brackets and write four numbers that correspond to x, y, width and hight. Next to these numbers you must type " ;". Here is an example.

In order to create my snowman I had to watch some videos before I began. The video explained how to do shapes such as circles which was the principal way to draw a snowman. The video also taught us how to color the background and the inside of the shapes. Thanks to the videos, I found it very easy to create my own super snowman.








In this photo, you see one of the projects we did last week with khan academy. It was a project in which you have to draw yourself. For each part of the face that you do you need different codes. The codes that we use are in the left side and the result on the right. Were the codes are, it says words like ellipse, fill, rect, that make the form that you want for example a circle.

Here is a video explaining The Hour of Code:
