FLIPGRID EXPLORER


During this two-week series, Liz and Paul will talk about computer science, how they got into coding, and what that means on a day-to-day basis here at Flipgrid HQ.


  • Pre-Knowledge, live now: What do you know about coding? What questions do you have about how your favorite website works? Also, feel free to share any questions you have about computer science, developers, and coding!
  • The Source Code, December 4-15: Here Liz and Paul will share their story and lives as developers!
  • Week 1, December 4-8: The logic of coding is all around us! Share a project you're working on! What problem are you trying to solve and what are the challenges? Don't have a project you're working on? No problem, let us know: what's a piece of technology that you have that your teacher did not have at your age? How has this technology changed our lives?
  • Week 2, December 11-15: Showcase your project! What was your goal? What challenges did you overcome? What was the end result? If you don't have a project, no problem: let us know what technology advancement do you think will come next?
  • Debugging, December 4-15: Share your questions for Liz and Paul in this Topic; they’ll answer as many as they can!

Programming with Colored Markers and Ozobots

Go to the Ozobot webpage here to see some lesson plans. Scroll down to the yellow stripe. Notice that many lessons are "unplugged" meaning technology is not required.

Many of these cool ideas were created or shared by Karly Moura, a teacher in California.
