Hour of Code
December 7-11
What is this stuff?
Coding is Computer Science - it's writing the commands and orders behind those pretty screens.
But seriously, I don't understand this.
No worries! Everything is self-guided. If you know how to do something, that's just a bonus!
I suggest trying things out on your own before your students start them, just so you have a general idea about what they're doing.
If you're able to figure it out and lead the students through, that's wonderful!

Intermediate
Light Bot
Make a robot light up squares. Lots of problem solving.
Intermediate
The Foos
Game based - Very simple
Primary to Intermediate

Supposed to be for Primary, but probably works better for intermediate.
