NCCS Participates in Hour of Code
Every New Canaan Country School student participated in the Hour of Code on Dec. 10. They worked in Buddy pairs with the older students teaching the younger ones about the important skill of coding.
The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries from ages 4 to 104, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics. To learn more, please watch this Hour of Code video.
At Country School, we used the Hour of Code as a way to reinforce basic computer programming concepts such as logical reasoning, spatial skills, sequencing with if/then statements, giving instructions and practicing precision. The activities also tied in with Mission Skills, requiring students to exercise teamwork, creativity and resilience. View the photo slideshow.
“It was wonderful to see our students so engaged and having such a good time,” said David Stoller, Director of Technology. “We hope we’ve inspired some future coders!”
