There are many resources for practicing text-based programming languages through simple exercises (or "katas") complete with automated tests to ensure the solution is correct. Exercism.io, CodeKata, and CodeWars are a few popular examples. In this workshop, we present a collection of exercises for leveling up skills in NetsBlox, an extension of Snap!. Exercises are designed to cover a variety of CS topics such as lists, higher-order functions, and loops as well as a variety of themes including cybersecurity, games, and AI/ML. After presenting the exercises, we will show how we can make our own autograded exercises and contribute back to the official collection!
