Hour of Code is here!

First, thank you to all the students who came to the Book Fair last week! It was hugely successful (just remember to not drive your teachers crazy with the drum pencils!).

Over the next two weeks we will be doing the Hour of Code in the library. Coding is how you write in computer languages. There are many computer languages but we will be using Blockly and Java. Why are we doing coding? Coding is how you create apps, print in 3D and it used to build websites and apps, but it also is how doctors are creating affordable prosthetics with 3D printers, how hydrants are getting cleared in snowstorms in Boston and how robots can do surgery. 

Can't wait to get coding with you!
