We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. But only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and less students are studying it than a decade ago.
That’s why our entire school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 5-11). More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code.
At the ES, our Hour of Code will take place in the classrooms and at home between December 1st and 13th. Your child will begin coding in the classroom and we are hoping your child will be excited to continue coding when they return home. We will provide a form for you to document your child’s time spent coding so we can add it to our goal. Our goal is for our elementary students to complete 705 hours of coding between December 1st and 13th.
In addition, we will be holding a parent Hour of Code Event on Monday, December 5th from 9:00 to 10:00 in the MPR.
