Elementary students K-6 are just finishing up a Coding Unit in Mrs. Hermetz's Technology course. Students are challenged to think out the logical steps a character needs to take to complete a task in a gamified scenario. As students complete challenges, new skills are added such as creating loops and other more efficient means of writing code. Many students love that Hour of Code offers high interest scenarios such as Minecraft and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever challenges. Pictured is a 4th grade class working on the Minecraft challenge. Way to CODE Warriors!
