Coding at EES

Beyond Hour of Code

"Computer science is more than just coding. Thinking like a computer scientist involves being creative and thinking collaboratively about a problem in order to solve it." (ISTE, 2017).  We continue to celebrate with the world during Computer Science Education Week.  

Visit our Hour of Code pages to find out what each grade level learns. 

Roadrunners at Ephesus Elementary have been participating in Hour of Code™ for many years.   We no longer have to wait until December to integrate computational thinking and computer science skills in our classrooms, especially now that each student has access to a digital learning device every day.

Each grade level incorporates a form of coding application into the classroom, buildiing on the skills from the previous year supporting the ISTE Student standard 5: Computational Thinker to solve challenges. 

The progression moves from directing actions with symbols to visual block programming.  Students may "level up" to other apps based on individual skill level.
