Cool Ways for Students to Engage with Computer Science
Feeding fish to different cats in your backyard or slicing fruit into flying pieces may be all fun and games, but for students who wonder about the process that goes into making those apps, this week is an ideal time to further develop that interest.
Computer Science Education week runs this year from December 5-11. How can students get more involved with computer science?
1.Play Minecraft
Code.Org has a Minecraft Hour of Code experience to introduce students to computer science.
2.Take an AP class
The College Board offers 2 different types of computer science classes: AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A.
For additional opportunities, see if your school has a computer science club or another kind of tech club. Or read this EdTech article for more details on the background of Computer Science Education week.
