Hour of Code
It is here once again. This time it is even bigger. More participants are signed up to participate in this global event. Just to show you how much activity there is, check out the Twitter feed at the end of the post.
I am excited to see students from my district participating in the Hour of Code as well. It is great to see the problem solving skills displayed in many of the coding tasks students are asked to do. Many of them are game based tasks, but if this introduces students to coding and sparks a lifelong love of STEM in this student it is an hour well spent. Even if your class of twenty-five students all participate and only one pursues a STEM career that might not have otherwise gone down that path, it is worth the effort.
Check out how focused these students are on their projects.
What makes this even better are the teachers that are actively participating in the event. There should be no bystanders when it comes to #hourofcode.
