More STEM Fun!

Computer Science Education Week

and Hour of Code!

December 4-10

Computer Science Education Week is an annual event held each year inspire K-12 students to learn computer science and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners to the field. Shepardson STEM Elementary celebrates Computer Science Education Week by encouraging students to learn more about "coding" and participating in some Hour of Code fun! S I'm sharing the links to the Hour of Code activities and to the Discovery Education Computer Science Channel. Dig around the sites to learn about Computer Science and Coding! Maybe you can be a computer programmer!

Happy Computer Science Education Week and Happy Hour of Code!

Computer programming, often called coding, is the process of entering a sequence of instructions to command a computer to complete a specific task. All of the devices we use, like our laptops, tablets, and phones—even our cars and refrigerators—run applications that were coded by a programmer. In the future, learning to code may be as important as learning to read or write. There are many careers in STEM fields that require expertise in coding, but knowledge of coding can benefit people on any career path.
