Computer Science Education Week
December 3-7
“The 'Hour of Code™' is a nationwide initiative by Computer Science Education Week [csedweek.org] and Code.org [code.org] to introduce millions of students to one hour of computer science and computer programming.”
The skills used to learn coding and programming are important to our future learners. Not only is coding and programming a booming job market, but computational thinking is also great for supporting our SAISD Learner Profile: Creating, Critical Thinking, Collaborating, and Communicating.
Your challenge this year is to have your students code for at least an hour during Computer Science Education Week.
Here are a few resources to help you get started:
