                  MAKECODE

                  MakeCode Arcade 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.
