The Hour of Code 2013

During Computer Science Education Week, our students have the opportunity to participate in the Hour of Code. With the help of our TEALS students, guided by Mrs. Katz, our Computer Science teacher, will be facilitating the instructions to our students who will spend a class period learning how to code and create their own computer program.  The goal is to build excitement for our TEALS program and get our students thinking about careers in Computer Science.

Students are encouraged to continue their Hour of Code anywhere they have internet access on a computer, tablet, iPad, or smartphone.  Students can click on the following link: http://code.org/learn for a variety of self-guided tutorials to learn how to code, or get an introduction to JavaScript.  Students can also download programs and get "unplugged" about computer science, programming logic, or even the valuable skill of debugging.  There are also apps available on any device to learn about core programming logic for kids as young 4.
