During the week of December 8-14, 2014 students in the Barrett Extended Day program participated in the Hour of Code before and after school. We had students at every grade level Kindergarten thru 5th enrolled in leveled classes learning to program bees gathering nectar to make honey as well as angry birds defending against those bad green pigs.
Students learned programming skills for approximately 20 before and after school. They were assisted by Barrett’s Tech Patrol. Altogether the students compiled over 2,000 lines of code.
Students that participated were so enthusiastic the decision has been made to continue with the lessons every Monday after school.
You can try some of the lessons by visiting https://code.org/learn
