In this activity, students will:
● Draw garden plots using code by combining the Pen tool and repeat loops
to create shapes (e.g., squares, rectangles, other polygons).
In this activity, students will:
● Use variables, loops, and events to animate a rocket countdown,
launch, and return home.
● Apply sequencing and conditionals to control sprite movement,
background changes, and astronaut interactions.
In this activity, students will:
● Use sequences, events, and loops in Scratch to create an interactive
animation.
● Apply broadcast messages to coordinate sprite actions.
In this activity, students will:
● Use events, loops, variables, and conditionals to model plant growth and
wilting.
● Debug and refine code to improve project behavior (fixing spray direction,
pressure, thirst levels).
What is Computer Science Education Week?
CS Education Week is a community led event that celebrates and highlights CS education for students of all ages in all communities. CS Ed Week was founded to raise awareness about the need to elevate computer science education at all levels and to underscore the critical role of computing in all careers. CS Ed Week is celebrated each year during the week of Grace Hopper’s birthday (December 9, 1906).
Why is Computer Science Education Week Important?
CS Education Week is an opportunity for parents, educators, and students to embrace and include CS Education in schools and in their every day life. Whether it's attending webinars or including CS Education activities in their routine there are endless ways for everybody to get involved.
Free and Fun Computer Science Week Ideas
In addition to the abundance of
free curriculum available on our website for parents, educators and students you can also check out
resources from the CSTA or the official
CS Ed Week website.
Integrate Computer Science into Kids’ Daily Routine at Home
BootUp knows how to do teacher PD, and also knows that what happens outside the classroom also matters. Computational thinking doesn't just happen in the classroom; it can happen at home, in the kitchen, baking bread with a grandparent, or creating a game with a parent. Try one our at home activities today!
Integrate Computer Science into Kids’ Daily Routine at School
Any subject can be an opportunity to talk about computer science! Check out
CS Unplugged's curriculum integrations for some great resources on how educators can integrate computer science into any subject.
