Celebrating #HourOfCode during Computer Science Education Week
A big thank you to all the schools that celebrated #CSEdWeek and #HourOfCode last week. The resources from Code.org are available 24/7 and anytime is a great time to include coding in your classroom. Consider building a playlist or choice board of coding activities to have ready in case of inclement winter weather.
