Hour of Code! Dec. 8-12th

The Hour of Code is almost here!
On December 8-12th, all across the world, students will take part in this global initiative.

The Hour of Code encourages students to learn computer programming. Coding can sound a bit daunting, but there are many great tutorials to get you and your class started. 

You can participate as an individual, with your class, or get your whole school involved. 

"The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. Anyone, anywhere can organize an Hour of Code event. One-hour tutorials are available in over 30 languages. No experience needed. Ages 4 to 104."

Last year I worked with students in kinder through fifth grade as well as our Girls Excelling in Math and Science (GEMS) club.
