STEAM Coding - TurtleStitch

The first TurtleStitch tutorial is on its way! Here is a glimpse:

The Hour of Code was a success! I loved meeting the students who were interested in coding. There was a session for paper embroidery and for digital embroidery. In the paper embroidery station, a few students told me how it was "cool" that they could transfer a code onto paper, making it "3D." The code they sewed was the paw-print and it can be found here .   In the digital embroidery station, the students used a computer for TurtleStich and then printed out the code on the digital embroiderer. There were two students who wanted to code a Rockets logo. When they first started coding and wanted the action of the block to repeat, they kept clicking on the mouse, but I told them that if they were to run the script, the code of them repeating the block would be lost. I taught them to use the repeat block and once they understood it, they used it for the rest of their code. "It's all about trial and error," I told them. And so, they experiment...

This week, I will create a "sample tutorial" of the TurtleStitch tutorial with a screencast. Stay updated by following by social medias: Instagram: @steam.ct ( instagram.com/steam.ct ) Twitter: @steamct ( www.twitter.com/steamct )

Hey, all! I added two tutorials onto the TurtleStitch gallery, and they are going to be used in a future TurtleStitch feature! Here are the links: Stitching a Line Stitching a Circle

This week, I will work on the tutorial for the TurtleStitch page. Last week, I embroidered a pawprint on paper after I coded on TurtleStitch. A new blog post on that will be posted next week on Thursday after I present during Hour of Code (12/14/16)! I hope to share with you all about the continuation of what I did.
