Coding for Kids
A Fun Coding Project for St. Patrick’s Day!
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by coding a fun game for the occasion! Students can build “Clover Chaser,” a simple game where rotating clovers appear wherever you click and the leprechaun will go collect them. This project comes with step-by-step instructions that teach students how to create this game and how to customize it to make it their own.
