This would be a great activity for getting early childhood students engaged. I believe the students would be challenged but also have fun while doing so! There are so many content standards that overlap with coding that you could really use throughout the normal day. I believe this is an effective use of classroom time when used correctly as it is engaging students, hitting desired content standards, and teaching them about technology.
As a college student, I was pushed to use my brain in ways I haven't done before. I truly had no idea what coding was or what it consisted of until these activities. I think this is a great idea to begin incorporating into our students every day lives as it is preparing them for their futures in technology.
