CS Education Week 2017 Is Finally Here!

Information as of 12/1/17 at 10am

Here it is!  So close to the holiday season, and we are now in the middle of Computer Science Education Week.  Please visit csedweek.orgcode.org, and hourofcode.com to find a wide array of projects for you to complete in class, and at home.  Make sure you are spending some time at home showing your parents (and other family members) how cool is is to learn how to be a programmer!  Need an UNPLUGGED Activity?  Try this Google Slides Presentation:

UNPLUGGED PROGRAMMING: COLLABORATIVE, SCHOOL-WIDE PROJECT SLIDES (Click Here) 

There is a wealth of information about careers, opportunities, and other ways to learn to code!  Use the information found at code.org/promote to help learn about what your states are doing to increase learning opportunities for students who want to learn about computer science.

Watch The Video Below To Get Started!



Once you have looked at some of the resources above, and have discussed them as a class, you have a choice to work on the following items for credit this week:

Project 1:  Try the Celebrity Challenge:  Go to code.org/challenge and create an app, game, or design with Code.org and tag #HourOfCode and one of our special guests for a chance to win a video chat for your classroom!  SHARE a link to your project with Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.

Project 2:  Go to the KANO, Anyone Can Make website and complete the Street Artist Hour of Code tutorial.  You must SHARE your project by creating an account, and emailing a link to your project to Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.

Project 3:  Use your creativity and imagination to bring the Google logo to life using code. Make the letters dance, tell a story or create a game. With Scratch and CS First, anyone can become a designer and programmer for the day!  Go to the GOOGLE LOGO Link to get started.  You must take a screen shot (or video if necessary) of your Google Logo Design and email it to your teacher for credit.

Project 4:  Choose any other tutorial found on hourofcode.com, get a project pre-approved by your teacher, and Share it for credit!  You can also use freecodecamp.org or w3schools.com, or any other online tutorial.  Make sure your content is appropriate for school!  You get extra credit for sharing a new source, tutorial, or application we have not seen yet!
