Students in grades 4 through 8 participated in the worldwide Hour of Code this week. The Hour of Code was developed a few years ago to promote computer science studies in schools, particularly the aspect of creating and writing computer programs.
Students had a great time and were truly interested and engaged in the process of making Elsa and Anna create figures and snowflakes as they skated forwards and backwards and made turns as directed by the code created by the students.
There are more videos and self-directed learning modules that parents and students can access at code.org.
