Notes from the ITS

HOUR OF CODE WEEKS BEGIN!

Dec 9-13 is the official annual national Hour of Code. The "Hour of Code" is a global initiative aimed at introducing people of all ages to the basics of computer programming through a single, one-hour coding activity, designed to show that anyone can learn to code and spark interest in computer science, typically taking place during Computer Science Education Week each year; it's a fun and accessible way to demystify coding and encourage participation in the field.

Although there are a multitude of amazing websites out there to explore, students at CCES get to join Mrs. Connair in the "Creation Cave" for hands on coding robots! 1st and Kinders had to get their mouse to the holiday cheese and 4th graders STEAM'ed it out and colored a present with something they would like for the holidays and the had their Sphero Bolt drive their Grinch to steal their presents!

The fun continues for more classes over the next 2 weeks so stay tuned!
