                                     Hello Children,  today  we will  learn  about  blocks  that are
                                     used to create projects in Microsoft Makecode Arcade.







                  MakeCode Arcade provides a block-based programming platform in which a solution to the
                  problem is implemented with the help of various categories of blocks. It also allows the user to see
                  the results simultaneously on the same screen. MakeCode Arcade uses a similar platform that we
                  have already used for block coding like Scratch, Code.org, etc.
