The Hour of Code is coming!



Each year, Code.org sponsors the Hour of Code.  The idea is that all students spend an hour learning to code.  This year, the event takes place the week of Dec 3-7.*

In the past, this small exposure has made a big impact on many kids.  For everyone who does it, the Hour of Code is a chance to get an idea of what programming is all about. For some, it opens a door to a new passion.  For others, it's a realization that maybe coding isn't their thing-- which is fine, too (but at least they've had the opportunity to find out).

I would love to help anyone interested in integrating a little coding in your classes.  There are lots of ways this could work:
  • Students can do one of the self-guided activities from code.org (designing an app looks like a good one)
  • I can tailor a self-guided activity that connects to your curriculum 
  • I can come in and do a group activity
Let's get together and plan it!

*And if the week of Dec 3rd doesn't work for you, we can find another time, too.
