This Week In Technology

This week is Computer Science Education Week.  Our students will be participating in the week by focusing on coding in the computer lab this week.  We will be learning about coding using a variety of websites.  Some students will be learning about the basics: creating algorithms to guide sprites through mazes, others will be creating art using the visual language of Processing, while some will be using Scratch to create a video game. While this week is used to highlight computer science and coding, our students are exposed to computer science throughout the year through a variety of activities.

Here are a variety of links where you can find resources you can visit at home to provide your children with additional outlets to exercise their coding skills.
