We Wish You a Merry Code-Mas
December 7
We challenge you to an hour of code!
The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. The 2023 Computer Science Education Week kicks off today, December 4th -10th, but you can host an Hour of Code all year-round.
Computer science fosters creativity and teaches students critical thinking skills to become proactive learners, making elementary school the ideal time for students to be introduced to CS.
Save Christmas and capture all the presents to deliver back to Whoville!
In this activity there are 20 levels of challenges to complete. Read the challenge, and place the instructional blocks in place to build the code to meet the challenge! The activity becomes more difficult as you progress through the lesson. Enjoy the holiday music and scenes as you practice your coding skills!
