Code Your Garden

Welcome to the garden of code! You may not think something outdoorsy, like gardening, can have anything to do with something indoorsy, like coding, but you’d be surprised!

In this activity, you’ll identify some computational thinking skills, including pattern recognition, decomposition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking. You’ll also be able to define the terms variable and looping as they relate to computer science. Then, finally, you’ll apply the concepts of computational thinking skills, variables, and looping to create a garden layout.
