This week, I have a really important tip for you- Join us for the 2016 Hour of Code! J Did you know that the US Labor Dept predicts that in just 4-5 years, there will be more than 1 million (high paying) US jobs in computer science that will be left unfilled due to the lack of qualified applicants? We need to increase awareness, excitement and knowledge of coding and computer science! There are various ways to participate in the Hour of Code (both online and offline), and no prior experience with coding or computer science is needed! Everyone is invited! Please check it out~
Hour of Code: Week of Oct. 17 (10 minutes or less)
- Watch: Hour of Code (2:04)
- Sign up with OUESD (we’re counting everyone and want to include your class!): https://goo.gl/forms/l3niorXCmQ3Jo43L2
**There are will be 5 small, coding raffle prizes given out to 5 lucky winners! Just be sure to sign up to participate by Thursday, Oct. 20 at 12:00pm and you may be one of the 5 randomly chosen names to receive a cool, coding prize!
- Sign Up with Code.org (so you can request free materials): https://hourofcode.com/us#join
- Read the OUESD Suggested Plan 2016 its entirety and start thinking about the Hour of Code OR check out these other coding options (no need to do anything else right now, except let the idea “marinade in your mind”)
Participation in the Hour of Code is optional, but we hope you’ll participate!
No need to do anything else this week, just let the idea “marinade in your mind”. 🙂
