Digital Tech - Coding

 Today in Digital Tech we were introduced into coding and what the aspects are. For today's task we had to create a infographic on a website to show people what coding is and what careers use coding. Here is my info graphic that I have created. 

Today in Digital Tech we have been learning the fundamentals in Scratch to be able to make a coding project. We followed a turtorial of our chooseing on Scratch to make a prodject and I choose to make instruments and instruments sounds. Here is my coding project.
