Introduction

“Microsoft MakeCode brings computer science to life for all students with fun projects, immediate results, and both block and text editors for learners at different levels.” (Hands on computing education, retrieved August 22, 2019).

Makecode looks similar to Snap! and Scratch, i.e. it is a visual programming language. It also allows saving and working with JavaScript code.

Adafruit MakeCode

The online MakeCode editor at AdaFruit, is https://makecode.adafruit.com/. The site includes some walk-through tutorials and some examples.

The platform includes that familiar palette with programming elements, a workspace for the program, and a simulator to the left.
