Computer Science Education Week 2021 and Hour of Code is HERE!!

December 6th - 12th, 2021


We are excited that many of our JCPS schools have registered for the Hour of Code and planned activities and events to celebrate Computer Science Week 2021! No worries if you did not register - you can absolutely still participate! Visit the Hour of Code website to get started: https://hourofcode.com/us. There are many fun and educational Hour of Code activities that will get students exposed to and interested in learning more about computer science!



The Hour of Code website features activities that you can search by grade level, topic, activity type, length, coding language, and classroom technology situation so everyone can participate! To celebrate students who participate, there is an easy way to print certificates of completion or print out stickers. Learn how here.




Computer Science & Coding Choice Boards - Ready-to-Use Activities

Looking for a resource to help students learn about computer science topics, careers, or people who have made significant contributions to the field? 


Thanks to Capstone and Future Ready Librarian spokesperson, Shannon McClintock Miller, there are great, ready-to-use choice boards for K - 12th grade students which incorporate informative PebbleGo articles and Capstone eBooks (with read aloud features, videos, and some in graphic novel format), as well as coding practice activities that give students an excellent overview of Computer Science. 




The choice boards are linked below by grade level:

Included on each grade level's computer science choice boards is also a coding choice board for students to have many opportunities and activities to explore and practice coding at their own pace.



We hope you have a great kickoff to Computer Science Education Week and Hour of Code! If you are on social media, be sure to use #HourofCode and #CSEverywhere. Can't wait to see what fun students have this week learning about computer science!
