Teachers - If needed, request a STEAM Teacher to help facilitate the activity. Play the Scratch Cat Board Game to solve coding challenges to build a snow friend, see ocean creatures, and visit a giraffe. After, make your own adventure for Scratch Cat!
Teachers - If needed, request a STEAM Teacher to help facilitate the activity. Use Scratch to code your own adventure for Scratch Cat.
Teachers - request robotics activities for your class inspired by Walking Wednesday. Join us on 12/6 to walk with a robot.
Enter students names all at once and then it will give you individual certificates to print. This brings you to a login page. Just choose CONTINUE WITH GOOGLE.
Hour of Code at Code.org - Choose the Grade 2-5 tab to filter and then filter no computer or technology on the left side.
Here are a few we recommend:
Sci Girls: Code Creators (learn about pseudocode)-
Move it, Move it- student practice 'programming' each other (could start with a bit of the Happy Maps lesson which introduces what an algorithm is)
Emotion Machine Activity: Code a paper robot to display emotions
If, Then (Conditionals) - you can easily do this without the materials. The Kodable app that is supposed to go with this no longer allows you to go to Sequence and Conditioning BUT kids can start at the beginning and get to the sequencing and conditioning level.
The Big Event- an event is an action that causes something to happen
Hour of Code at Code.org - Tons of activities. Choose the Grade 2-5 tab to filter.
The list of iPad apps that are on our iPads is at the bottom.
Here are a few we recommend from Hour of Code
Codespark Academy- have to choose SCHOOLS in upper left corner. Then click student and then Hour of Code. I would recommend they pick puzzles. They could also pick create and click new (could be a good choice after doing some puzzles).
PBS Kids Sci Girls Code Quest-starts out with the basics
iPad Cart Apps (links below are resources for teachers):
Tynker-choose Dragon Spells or Space Cadet.
Scratch Jr.
Coding Storytime with Scratch Jr. Cat - has an intro to scratch and some basic coding info
Lightbot
Beebot- start with the GARDEN
Coding Galaxy-can get challenging figuring out the turns
Codespark Academy- have to choose SCHOOLS in upper left corner. Then click student and then Hour of Code. I would recommend they pick puzzles. They could also pick create and click new (could be a good choice after doing some puzzles).
