Catch our live stream today at 1pm, where we’ll be talking about Variables and hopefully seeing some examples of people’s work!

Variables
We added a new tool to our toolbox with variables yesterday. They’re hugely powerful programming concept that lets us store information that we can use again later.
We learned about the syntax of variables (like we learned the syntax for calling commands and for writing our own commands, called functions). We’ll dive into the Spirals playground to finish off our introduction to variables.
What I really like about the Spirals playground is that it encourages play. Just like the Answers playground, just like our Turtle Graphics playground. If you want to explore and experiment, it’ll make coding that much more approachable. You’ll want to do more of it, which will make you a better programmer, in the long run.
Conditionals
And once we finish exploring Spirals, we’ll move on to the very start of Chapter 5 of Everyone Can Code Puzzles: Conditional Code.
Things are getting exciting quick!
See you today at 1pm, Irish time!
