Chromebooks, laptops, and PCs are crucial tools for coding and digital skills education. Chromebooks are ideal for web-based applications and collaborative projects, while laptops and PCs support a wider range of programming environments and software for more intensive tasks like software development and data analysis.
Creating Your First Pixel Art
In this lesson, you will create your first pixel art drawing! We will use a fun online tool called Piskel to make a cool pixelated smiley face.
Open your web browser and go to Piskel website. Click on 'Create Sprite' to start a new project.
To create a new project in Piskel, open the website piskelapp.com and:

Then choose the color for the outline of the face.
Using the pencil tool, draw an outline of a smiley face on your canvas.
Don't worry about filling in any details yet.
Select the paint bucket tool from the toolbar. Choose a color for the face and click inside the outline to fill it.
