COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

Students (with parent permission) can sign up for my Scratch Classroom on my Canvas page once they have read through and agree to the rules of my Scratch Classroom.

For more advanced coders, the language "Python"can be downloaded for free at www.helloworldbook.com. 

There are other sites which also offer a great place to start for beginning programming, such as https://replit.com/ and FMSLogo 

If you are looking for learning opportunities for your gifted child, please consider the following: 

*Weekly math challenge:  https://www.noetic-learning.com/pow.jsp (subscribe to their weekly newsletter - upper right hand side of page)

*Chats with Change Makers with Discover:  Watch on-demand at DiscoverE.org.  These videos join host Tiffany (a 9th-grader from Austin, TX) as she chats with a different guest from the engineering community. Hear their stories and get an inside look at how they are using their technical skills to make the world a better place.
