CSEd Week 2021

This coming week, December 6th through the 12th, is Computer Science Education Week. CSEd Week is designed to promote and introduce computer science education to students. The part of CSEd Week we participate in is an Hour of Code, which challenges students to complete an hour of coding related activities during the week. Coding and computer science continue to be important skills for an increasing number of career paths. We think it is important to provide students a foundational knowledge of coding and computer science so they are prepared for the ever changing workplace.

The skills that make someone successful at coding and computer science are skills that will serve students well in all aspects of their life. Resilience, problem solving, creativity, brainstorming, and innovation are all skills that coding and computer science develop that have real connections to almost every area of learning.

The Wrentham Public Schools will be participating in CSEd Week in two ways.

1.) Technology Classes - Jenn and Heather will be taking their Technology Classes through the Hour of Code with age appropriate challenges.

2.) Bingo Challenge - Students and their families will be receiving a bingo card with different coding activities they can complete and return to Jenn in the Delaney School or Heather in the Roderick School.

We hope this week of activities will engage and inspire our students. If any of you would like to bring a coding activity to your class during CSEd Week or anytime throughout the year please reach out to Jenn, Heather, or I. We'd be glad to stop by!
