# MakeCode Arcade: Block Based Coding! Your first block. Your first game. Your first "I built that." **Course Overview** This ongoing weekly class takes you step by step through the world of coding using Microsoft MakeCode — one of the most fun and beginner-friendly platforms out there. MakeCode is fully in browser, no download necessary. Each session builds on the last, so you're always making progress and never falling behind. **What Will We Do?** - Build real, playable games inside MakeCode from your very first session - Learn new coding concepts every week through hands-on projects - Go from dragging blocks to writing real code at your own pace - Swap ideas, get unstuck, and grow alongside a small group of fellow builders - Each week builds on the last so your skills actually stick - Walk away every session with something you made yourself **What Do You Need?** - A computer with a working camera and microphone - A mouse is highly recommended Questions?
