I’ve always had a passion for music, so when I was checking both options for coding I saw hour of code and it had an option called Music Lab: Jam Session. Right away I wanted to make and create a song! It had a list of song you could use so I went with one of my favourite songs “Wake Me Up” by Aloe Blac

Easy Right?

Nope! It took me probably 30 minutes of clicking and moving things around as I didn’t have any step by step instruction! It popped up a new project and left me to figure it out on my own! After taking some time and once things started to progress, I started to reflect on how and why I think coding is important and hands down should be used in school if students take interest in things like coding! Here’s my 3 reasons based on my experience:

1.) Problem Solving- I had to figure out based on trial and error how to navigate what I was doing and what was working.

2.) Creativity- I was able to make something very unique and my creative skills were out to work.

3.) Developing Skills- I made progress throughout my time spent coding and after an hour and a half, I had something that I thought was good!
