When did we collectively decide coding for kids should just be moving cartoon characters through mazes? Is there any empirical evidence this activity is useful for helping kids do interesting and personally meaningful things with code? If there is, please point me to it #CSforAll
Based on a quick query: in the last year on http://Code.org , the # of students who created a project is 81% the # of students who have tried solving a puzzle.

Thanks for the response
@hadip . But just to be clear “created” != “meaningfully use” (or maybe it does, who knows!?). This is a case where a peer reviewed publication, or open sourced data and methods would be EXTREMELY important to contextualize and validate that claim. -
http://Code.org is the most broadly used curriculum used by students to pass the AP CSP Principles exam, which includes a capstone “Create” task, which measures students’ meaningful creativity.
