Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Scratch to Python: Moving from Block- to Text-based Programming
Raspberry Pi Foundation and National Centre for Computing Education
Block-based programming languages like Scratch make it simple to learn and teach programming. But once you and your students have mastered it, it’s time to move on to a text-based programming language such as Python. You’ll discover how to transfer the programming and thinking skills you learnt while using Scratch to Python. You’ll develop basic text-based programming skills, learning how to understand error messages and debug code.
