Hour of Code Day & Computer Science Education Week
Next week is Computer Science Education Week (CSEd Week). This is a national call to action to bring more computer science learning and activities to K-12 school. Sac New Tech is the ONLY school in SCUSD that has a Computer Science CTE Pathway and we are very proud to be able to provide this program to our students.
To celebrate CSEd Week each year, we participate in a fun event called Hour of Code. This year we are proudly partnering with Square Root Academy (SRA) to bring even more engaging activities for our students to interact with.
Here are the different workshops that students can choose from:
- Arduino Light Display Get into the holiday spirit! Learn the coding magic behind holiday light shows, and make your own mini light display using Arduino boards.
- Digital Animation Love anime and cartoons? Learn the basics of animation and create your own digitally animated cartoon using Adobe Fresco.
Machine Learning and AI Workshop (Rm 4) - Students will be teaching a machine how to "think"! By experimenting with modern machine learning tools, students will experience what it takes to teach a computer the difference between a cat vs. a dog, a hotdog vs. a hamburger, a car vs. a bike, etc.
Coding Activities on Code.org Coding activities for all levels of coders. Students will create programs and games on code.org. Code.org is ALWAYS available so parents, you can check it out too!
Be sure to ask your student about their experience at our Hour of Code Event!
Finals/ Mini DOL Presentations - WE NEED PARENT/FAMILY VOLUNTEERS!
In order to prepare our students for this very big event, we use our finals day project presentations as practice and we call them "Mini-DOL's". In order to get students ready to present in front of adults and people they do not know or see everyday, we want to authenticate our audiences for their final project presentations.
We are asking for parents to come to the school during finals and just be a part of the audience for these Mini-DOL's. You simply have to sit in the classroom and watch the students present. Very simple! Any parents who volunteer will earn participation time that will go towards the 30 hours that we ask of every family. Any adult family member can participate! If you are interested in helping us provide an authentic audience for our students, please complete the Sign-Up Genius to select the time(s) you are available. We LOVE when our parents come to our school and participate with our students! (If you have already connected with us via email, you do not need to complete the Sign-Up Genius. We already have you signed up!)
