Hour of Code
The Hour of Code is coming in December! What is the Hour of Code? Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science. It coincides with Computer Science Education Week, which is December 7th-13th. Computer science helps develop problem-solving skills, logic, and creativity. Experience with computer science will help provide a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path.
The Hour of Code is completely optional. Want to participate? Let me know! I'll schedule lessons in the lab. As of right now, I'll be at North Landing on Monday and Tuesday, and Creeds the rest of the week. If I can't fit you in, I'll leave a learning plan on how to implement the program. It is super easy, and the kids LOVE it! I hope you will consider participating!
