Hour of Code!

12/10/13

Hello Classes!
Today we are participating in the Hour of Code, sponsored by Computer Science Education Week.

Seniors:
Click here first. If you are BRAND NEW to coding, I recommend working on the Angry Birds tutorial (under the beginners tutorials). If you are an expert, scroll down to the bottom to find the iPhone App tutorial, or one of the others that interests you. I only ask that you remain on one of these tutorials (there are Java and other tutorials, such as python, available).

Freshman:
Click here. I recommend we all do the Angry Birds coding to begin with. After that, try Scratch in the beginners tutorials, but shown as a holiday card!
