This blogpost will show you teaching and learning resources available for the Snap! (https://snap.berkeley.edu) visual programming language.

Snap! is free, open source and developed at SAP together with UC Berkeley. It invites learners to creatively implement ideas and experience computer science in a playful and experimental way. What makes Snap! special is its audacious claim not to compromise on expressiveness despite a low entry threshold.

You want to learn Snap! in detail or want a comprehensive guide through introductory programming and Snap!?
Our openSAP courses are exactly what you're looking for:

Or take a look at Snap!'s signature curriculum "The Beauty and Joy of Computing" from UC Berkeley and EDC.

  • The Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC) is an introductory computer science curriculum developed at the University of California Berkeley, intended for non-CS majors at the high school junior through undergraduate freshman level.
    (EN: https://bjc.edc.org/bjc-r/course/bjc4nyc.html)
  • BJC Sparks is a middle school and early high school curriculum focusing on a functional approach to programming, emphasizing the flow of information through functions - rather than emphasizing iteration and commands - and including exciting projects in graphics, data and media.
