Go Beyond the Hour of Code

Computer Science Education Week may be over, but our exploration of computer programming has just begun. Students (and teachers!) who want to learn more about coding are invited to join an informal working group to continue learning. None of us are experts; in true 21st century fashion, we'll be learning with and from each other, setting our own goals and designing our own projects, both as individuals and a group. 

The Strong group will meet on Wednesdays during Flex (except on SSP days) and the Coginchaug group after school. People are busy and scheduling can be difficult, but please don't let that stop you. We can also use email and other technology tools to cooperate, collaborate, and communicate.

Please see Mr. Kurtz with any questions or comments, or sign up on the form below.

The Journeyman Challenge

Patrick McConlogue describes himself as a "23 year old entrepreneur, programmer, designer, and social media strategist." In August, he met Leo Grand, living on the streets of New York City and made him an unusual proposition: he would either give Leo $100, no strings attached, or give him a used laptop computer, a couple of books about Java and an hour of his time each morning to teach Leo programming. Leo chose the latter and a couple of months later, his app Trees for Cars will be available for iOS and Android on December 10th. 
If we start giving our students these skills now, what will they accomplish?
