Project Overview

Programming can be daunting. Pretty much everyone who has tried has had the sensation of being lost amidst uncountable lines of code. This is why the block-based paradigm has been develop. It has become a to-go approach for people interested in teaching programming to beginners. The most widely known tool to incorporate that is Scratch, and in this project you will learn how to use the same principles for the creation of NetLogo models.
