The Hour of Code Celebration 2019 Maya Donnelly mdonnelly@psd1.org Kim Van Eaton kvaneaton@psd1.org January 7, 2020 Increase the opportunity for all students to gain knowledge of computer science. Goals and Objectives for this class... Introduce the fundamental concepts and applications of computer science to all students, beginning at the elementary school level. Code using various STEM coding platforms such as Code.org, Tynker, and Scratch. Analyze Washington State Computer Science Standards for big concepts and skills. Example: 1A-AP-14 Debug (identify and fix) errors in an algorithm or program that includes sequences and simple loops. https://www.k12.wa.us/student-success/resources-subjectarea/computer-science/computer-science-k-12-learningstandards What is Programming? • Programming is the process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer how to perform a task. Programming can be done using a variety of computer "languages," such as SQL, Java, Python, and C++. • https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computerprogramming/programming/intro-to-programming/v/programmingintro Coding for Kids: The Why & How • Coding is the method of giving instructions to a computer to perform a specific task. You may have also heard it referred to as “software programming” or “computer programming.” These instructions are communicated using a “computer language” that computers can understand. These languages include visual blocks, Java, Python, and C. Learning to code expands problem solving and critical thinking skills, making it a great opportunity for kids to build those skills while young. • https://www.tynker.com/content/coding-for-kids-the-why-and-how Key to sources of multiple definitions in this glossary: CAS-Prim: Computing at School.

December 9-15 The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. The 2019 Computer Science Education Week will be December 9-15, but you can host an Hour of Code all year-round. Computer Science Education Week is held annually in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906). Recommended Code.org Courses View my recent courses Courses from Code.org for students in grades K-12 and professional learning for teachers. • https://studio.code.org/cou rses?view=teacher Code.org • Teacher View • Student View Level Status and Languge Change CS Fundamentals for Elementary Schools https://code.org/educate/curriculum/elementary-school How to Teach One Hour of Code https://hourofcode.com/us/promote/re sources How To Guides • The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. What is the Hour of Code? • It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.

Contact Celebrate your Hour of Code Host a school-wide assembly Show a Code.org video or invite a speaker to do an “unplugged” activity with students in front of the entire school. Contact press and local officials Tell them about your school’s participation in the international Hour of Code movement. Invite Invite the community Families, volunteers, and business leaders can all learn too. Use Use the Hour of Code to recruit students for high school computer science courses. Celebrate! Share your experience and photos on social media with #HourOfCode.
