Authdescriptions

Coding is gaining importance today, where digital learning is developing. While improving the design skills of students with Web2 tools, they should be guided to find daily life problems and solutions. While the relationship between coding and daily life is explained in an entertaining way, students’ hand skills are developed through learning by doing. At the same time, basic level skills related to coding are gained.
