MakeCode Office Space<\/p><\/div>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

Microsoft MakeCode (makecode.com (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>) is a web-based learning environment for kids and teens to create with technology. MakeCode takes a unique approach to computing education by combining the magic of making with the power of code as a way to make learning about computers and technology more accessible and interesting to a wider audience.<\/p>\n

The MakeCode team at Microsoft is small, but mighty! We are passionate about making technology fun, exciting and accessible for all kids. We work in a fun office space at Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington and love coming to work every day!<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks, we\u2019ll be publishing some easy MakeCode projects that you can do with your kids at home over the summer using a different MakeCode product each week.<\/p>\n

Grab your kids and a glue gun and come on the Summer of MakeCode tour with us!<\/p>\n
