Teaching kids to code… using video games! | Nate Aschenbach & David Arditti | TEDxDetroit

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Video games provide a familiar, interactive, and creatively empowering space for students to master abstract programming concepts. They are an excellent platform for iterative design and digital storytelling. We have spent the last year teaching 1st through 8th graders how to code using these principles.

Founded in 2013, GameStart leverages kids' passion for video games (like Minecraft!) to make learning STEAM skills relevant for students in 1st - 8th grade.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
