Coding Club

What is Google CS-First Storytelling?

Mission

To introduce, support and enhance Computer Science education through various methods of coding.

Goal

To provide a safe and accepting learning environment for students to experiment with and learn new technologies including (but not limited to): digital storytelling, online game development and robotics.

Plan

• Meetings #1-10 (approx.): Coders will start by creating digital stories using Google CS First and eventually color-coding Ozobots.
• Meetings #11-25 (approx.): Coders will continue on to another Google CS First unit and/or explore block-coding websites like Ozoblockly, Scratch, and Code Studio.
• Meetings #26-40 (approx):  Coders will have the option to experiment with text coding items such as Arduino Boards, Sphero robots and Ozobots. 

Members

• Members filled out an application requiring two teacher recommendations.
• Applications were due to Mrs. Trimble by November 22nd.
• Members will try to meet once or twice per week during seminar/lunch period in the makerspace.

NOTE:  Members are invited to represent the Coding Club by presenting at Walnut Springs' Family Night on Thursday, January 19th, 2017 (6:00-8:00pm) and at the Nationwide Children's Starry Night Event on Sunday, April 23rd, 2017 (2:00-6:00pm).

WSMS Students color-code Ozobot travel destinations.

WSMS students use Ozobots to find absolute value using a Cartesian Plane.
