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







            MakeCode is a module of Minecraft Education Edition that 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
            uses a similar platform that we have already used for block coding like Scratch, Code.org, etc.
