    GETTING STARTED WITH BLOCK CODING

                     Block-based  coding  uses drag and drop  approach. It’s a programming  activity  to  develop
                     computational thinking. You can use coding instruction 'blocks' to perform a variety of tasks.
                     To display a message 'Hello World'
