Last Thursday the 1-3 PALs had the opportunity to participate in the Hour of Code. The Hour of Code, held world-wide, is a one-hour introduction to computer science designed to show people that anyone can learn the basics of coding. The Hour of Code at Stoner Prairie provided an chance for our students to explore a variety of activities including: a Sphero course, an Ollie partner communication challenge, coding with paper, markers, and Ozobots, Dash robotic grid challenges, Code.org (Minecraft, Star Wars, and Frozen), and new iPad apps to explore coding in multiple forms. There was also a family Hour of Code held last Thursday for families to try the different activities. Special thanks to Mrs. Huttner for organizing the "Hours" of Code again this year!
