Hour of Code

It's Almost Here! Dec. 8th-Dec. 14th

As you may know the Hour of Code is approaching during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 8-Dec.14^th). 

I encourage you to check out the site. If you want your classes to participate in exploring coding activities, let me know. I can be apart of this with your classes if you want me to lead or be another support in the room. 

Check out some of last year’s tutorials so you can get a feel for what students around the country investigated last year. Explore one of the newest tutorials which is sure to be a hit as it features Anna and Elisa from Frozen!
