To compliment our Coding for Good badge series, we will be hosting two coding events for Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors. Girls will be able to access codeSpark Academy, a learn-to-code app, for a one-hour session on June 16, 2020 and June 20, 2020 and can decide the time that works best for their schedule. Once they log in, they will have one-hour to access the content on the site.
During this event, girls will access puzzles to help them learn the ABC’s of coding while having fun! Girls will be able to learn about algorithms, create a maze game, and create a sequence of coding. The activities are targeted for specific ages and do not require reading- perfect for younger Girl Scouts. The puzzles teach girls how to use the platform before they begin.
There are many puzzle options available, but here is a suggested list of puzzles that connect with requirements for the Coding for Good badges.
Daisy Coding Basics: Donut Detective and Tool Trouble
Daisy Digital Game Design: Create Game
Daisy App Development: Create Story

To participate in the event, girls must first register to receive an access code to be able to participate for free. Caregivers will also receive a “how to” navigate the site.
Please note that these puzzles do require a reliable internet connection.

We want to hear how your girl is using her Girl Scout skills by taking initiative, caring for the community, and Girl Scouting at home. She can send in her story here.
