@CisforCarla Totally agree! And I would beg to say not just CS Ed research but any Ed research! Especially for the little ones. Representation definitely matters. And race is never never separate or neutral. Preach, Carla!
I LOVE doing this @hellorubyworld activity with 1st graders every year and they love it too! How many 1st graders can tell you about the CPU, GPU, RAM, ROM, and hard drive??? @KenwoodStars#csk8
We’re celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth here @KenwoodStars and saw this in the hallway this week... A game algorithm using blocks?!? Yes, please!! 🙌 Love seeing my teachers take it on for themselves. #csk8
My moment for #CSEdWeek today? Kids that usually have a hard time finding success at school having HUGE smiles on their faces as they figured out different robotics' missions! "Ms. Maa, watch this!!"
It's #CSEdWeek and at @KenwoodStars, we're doing a different activity EVERYDAY! Thought I'd highlight a favorite moment from each day since it's quite a lot to have 5 different activities for 300+ students. These moments make it all worth it!
Yesterday's moment: The kids were SO tickled that Wall-E paid them a visit during his search for Eve. And let's not forget our discussions about what will our world look like as AI becomes more and more prevalent???
It’s #CSEdWeek here at Kenwood and around the world!!! Instead of doing an hour this week, our students will be doing a different activity EVERYDAY! Today? Wall-E and discussions on #ethicalCS! And a visit from Wall-E himself!
Hey #csk8 community, any ideas for an unplugged activity that’s art related??? Looking for a k-5 activity with something the kids can take home. We’ve done binary initial keychains and the kids loved it.
@dawnwilson27 I don’t have a copy!! I’ve done similar lessons many times and tweak it depending on grade level and familiarity with coding. It’s very open-ended. Sorry nothing formal written!
My 5th graders exploring with @makeymakey using a program they created with @scratch! They’re loving it! Complete engagement, perseverance, and creativity!
