HOUR OF CODE, DECEMBER 2021

Endeavor Charter School is participating in Hour of Code during December 9-14. Hour of Code is a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science by having students learn some of the basics of coding. 

ECS will have all students in grades 2 through 8 participate. Students will be given opportunities to explore basic coding through a variety of interactive tutorials ranging from basic block coding to scratch to writing javascript. The website is code.org/learn.  

It is ESSENTIAL that students watch the videos that pop up at the beginning and throughout the activities. These videos give valuable instruction on the use of the activities.

DIRECT LINKS FOR ACTIVITIES:

Blocks (Blockly): These activities are the simplest to learn as they rely on students dragging blocks of code to build programs instead of having to type the exact code.
