Computer Science Education Week

Hour of Code

All students celebrated Computer Science Education Week with an Hour of Code. Students visited  code.org to work on computer science/programming activities. 
Code is the digital language that runs websites, Apps and more. Giving students a taste of coding means teaching them analytical skills they’ll need in the future.
All students in Grades K-8 participated. The fun coding activities provided students with the opportunity to use critical thinking skills to analyze possibilities and make predictions in order to obtain desired outcomes. 
Using code blocks, they solved puzzles and challenges by programming characters in Ice Age, Angry Bird, Minecraft, Frozen and Dance Party! They were able to solve steps with sequential algorithms. We were even able to use pair-programming remotely as remote students shared their screens and communicated with in-person students to help debug programs.
They did a fantastic job in the Hour of Code Activities! Click the link at the bottom of this page to see photos.

Beyond Hour of Code: Students can enjoy many coding activities after Computer Science Education week's Hour of Code by visiting code.org/learn.
