#GoLibraries at ESU 3
Kickstart Your Elementary Coding With Code.org
Come join me and explore the fabulous free resources provided at Code.org and get your elementary students coding. This session will focus on using the free code.org Computer Science Fundamentals courses that may be implemented as one unit or over the course of a semester. Students create computer programs that will help them learn to collaborate with others, develop problem-solving skills, and persist through difficult tasks. They will study programming concepts, computational thinking, digital citizenship, and develop interactive games or stories they can share. Bring your device and let’s have some fun!
