Hour(s) of Code

This week is Computer Science Education Week and the famous Hour of Code. In honor of Computer Science Week, there will be a post a day highlighting an activity. Feel free to also look back at last week's Hour of Code post that included ideas for getting involved.

Code 

Code.org is a great site full of learning opportunities for coding, with an additional specific section dedicated to Hour of Code. 

As you can see above, fun tutorials connected to popular television and movie characters await. Teacher/students are able to filter activities by grade level, experience, technology device, topics, type  and length of activity, and the programing language. 

In addition, there is a specific secition dedicated to robotics! This is a great section to find activities for Ozobots, BB8, Sphero, Dash & Dot, Hummingbird, Drones, and more.

​Each activity features extra teacher notes that include lesson plans, extension activities, and other teacher resources. 

This site covers all learners!
Special Needs Students
A specific section addressing ways to support special needs students for the Hour of Code.

Unplugged Activities
Love this section of lessons that do not require a computer or device to learn the basics of computer science.


​Happy Coding!
