“The 'Hour of Code™' is a nationwide initiative by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org to introduce millions of students to one hour of computer science and computer programming.”
December 9 - 20, 2019
Ephesus Elementary School is proud to continue the tradition of participating in the worldwide Hour of Code™event.
In addition to an hour of coding in our 1:1 learning environments, students can also participate in "unplugged" computer science fundamentals activities.
Each year we participate in Hour of Code™ across a two-week period so every student can use the skills and mindset needed today and tomorrow.
An hour of coding doesn't end after 60 minutes!
Why?
Learning how to interact with computers is more than just typing and touching screens. By integrating coding and interacting with robots during Computer Science Education Week, we are working towards ISTE Standard 5. The activities involved also strengthen our skills as Empowered Learners, Creative Communicators and Knowledge Constructors.
