An hour of coding

Year 7 students recently took part in the Hour of Code along with millions of students in over 180 countries. Our first large coding experience was a hit with students and teachers alike. "This class has never been so on task and involved – and they are enjoying it!" commented one teacher. Another teacher noted that some of the girls really got into it - she heard comments like "Coding is really awesome." With feedback and experiences like this it will help the school to develop our Digital Technology learning area so that we can better prepare students for the technologically advanced careers and futures that await them.

The students took part in 3 activities - try them yourself!
