What is the only thing better than an Hour of Code? No, not the second coming of the Hour of Code (but that's a good answer ;-) . . . two Hours of Code, of course!
Code.org is again supporting Computer Science Education Week (December 8-14th 2014) and we are making a more concerted effort here to have more students participate this year. In the ES, all classes from G1-5 will be doing some coding during the week. In the MS, I know that the MS Tech Club will be doing some coding again, and there might be some buy-in from math or science classes as well. In the HS, I running an Hour of Code again as an after school activity, but I am offering two different sessions for students on separate days. I am also offering a parent workshop during the week . . . let's see if any parents show up to try their hand at coding.
This year, to promote the Hour of Code in the HS, I built this short promo video based on statistics from Code.org and modelled after Karl Fisch's "Did you know?" style presentations. This was just shown to all students in the HS to launch this year's Hour of Code, and it got students talking about it. Yeah!
