Because this week is Computer Science Education Week, I want to make sure all of the grade levels get a chance to participate in the Hour of Code campaign. One of our 3rd graders, Roman, was kind enough to show the class how to do a project using the open-source programming language from M.I.T., Scratch. This was a great introduction to Scratch for the other students, who had not seen it before. Once Roman gave the class a lesson on the basics, they all got on laptops and did a tutorial created especially for students participating in the Hour of Code. They designed their own holiday cards. I recorded video of their cards “in action”, and you can view them at the links below:
