Fort Garrison students, in Lindsay O’Donnell’s Library classes, are proud to have participated in the Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 7-13). The Hour of Code is a national movement aimed at increasing the number of students involved in computer programming and to educate students about future careers in this field.
Every Fort Garrison student in grades K-5 participated in the Hour of Code. Kindergarteners started learning coding by turning the library carpet into a grid and giving each other directions to reach a destination. Older students wrote lines of code to program their very own computer games featuring characters from Star Wars, Minecraft, and Flappy Bird, among others. Students used drag-and-drop blocks to link commands with events in their games. Some students were ready for a challenge and coded using JavaScript programming language. Many of our students agreed that computer programming seemed like a great career to have when they’re older!
