Code Break

Code Break is a global, live-interactive classroom, where the Code.org team and and Hadi Partovi, founder of code.org, will teach students of all ages, with and without computers. Code Break offers a weekly dose of education, community, and computer science, and has brought together students from as far as Africa, China, India, and South America.

You do not need to participate in the live classrooms to have access to the instruction. All of the episodes have been recorded and are available for you to watch at Code Break. There are also links for you to use to create your own code for each session. (Note: most of these require a computer rather than a mobile device.)

MCS, if you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Rodriguez. Happy coding!

Here is a sample of the past episodes. Bill Gates is helping on Episode 5, April 22nd!
