Hello Coders!
Welcome to your first day. I’m so happy to see you.
Today, we will:
- Introduce ourselves
- Come up with five rules
- Talk about what coding is (and program each other)
- Talk about what animation is
- “Build” an animated snowman
See the snowman? Is he really jumping? What do you think is happening?
