For the 3rd year in a row Gullett hosted an HOUR OF CODE. All over the world students during the 2nd week of December participate. The idea is to get any and everyone to try programming for 1 hour to encourage people into the industry. Did you know there are currently 517,393 open computing jobs nationwide and last year, only 42,969 computer science students graduated into the workforce? I like exposing it to students at this age when EVERYONE believes they can do anything. They will go into middle school not being afraid of joining the robotics team or getting into a coding class.
Gullett kids ATE IT UP! PreK did CodeAPillar & Kodable on Ipads; Kinder did CodeAPillar on Ipads and BeeBots week 2;(no pictures due to a lot of instruction); 1st did code.org programming and Puzzlets; 2nd did Star Wars hour of code then Puzzlets; 3rd did Puzzlets; 4th did scratch programming, code.org & Beebots; 5th did Google CS first/scratch programming and Makey Makeys (in the room the month before) Here are some photos (click to enlarge):
