Hour of Code Event: December 6th

 

Hour of Code

Dec 6th from 3:45 - 5:00 pm

Location: EMES Library

Hour of Code at EMES: While there will be opportunities for EMES students to participate in Hour of Code activities during the school day, the Dec 6th afterschool event gives students time to dig deeper into coding.  This year’s theme is being creative with code.

What is the Hour of Code? The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts. This grassroots campaign is supported by over 400 partners and 200,000 educators worldwide.

When is the Hour of Code? The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. The 2018 Computer Science Education Week will be December 3-9, but you can host an Hour of Code all year-round. Computer Science Education Week is held annually in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906).

Who can attend?  Code.org has activities for pre-readers and up.  In addition to this year’s new Dance Party and Minecraft activities (for grades 2 and beyond), we will have coding projects ready to go that are appropriate for all EMES students.
