This week in the elementary engineering classroom we have been celebrating Computer Science Week by logging onto code.org and coding different projects. The Hour of Code project this year is a Minecraft Education Edition challenge.
Many of my classes this week have been fortunate to be able to Skype with Computer Science Engineers from a local tech company. The kiddos have loved coding along with the CS Engineers!
It has been fun learning to code on the Hour of Code 2020 Minecraft program along with my students. They have taught me so much this week about Minecraft! To be clear, I am definitely NOT a gammer!
The code.org Minecraft projects, however, are a lot of fun, and the 1st - 3rd grade students have been coding each level along with me. I laughed out loud this afternoon when a 1st grader yells out in class, "Mrs. Kwid how did you get so good at Minecraft?" I just winked and told him, "It's a hidden talent!"
