The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities. Coding helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic, and creativity.
Our class participated in the Hour of Code this week. We broke it into a few sessions. Students used iPads and accessed the app Scratch Jr. They were able to use simple code to move their animal or whatever they wanted in different ways. Kindergarten students were amazing and did a great job with coding.
