Last month was our first experience with Boolean Girls. This month we’ve returned and Najwa is progressing. One of the staff and I were discussing Najwa’s work and he feels she may be ready to learn more complex programming, Python as opposed to using Scratch, but wants her to patiently go through the structured pathways before she gets to that stage. After Scratch is some electronics where they learn the true meaning of Booleans, some robotics, some other stuff then on to real coding.
