Calling all coders! Students can take a screenshot of their completed Hour of Code activity and send it to [email protected] to receive a certificate of completion, a button, and an entry into a raffle for a Barnes & Noble gift card! Mark your calendars for December 7 -12 and get ready to have some coding fun at code.org!

The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week, which is December 7-12, 2020. The Hour of Code is a global movement introducing tens of millions of students worldwide to computer science, inspiring kids to learn more, breaking stereotypes, and leaving them feeling empowered. We encourage kids and teens to try their first hour of computer science on Code.org at home on their computers, tablets, or smartphones! Code.org’s own activities feature Minecraft, Star Wars, Frozen, Angry Birds, and Plants vs. Zombies. CodeBytes will be live streaming 20-minute interactive lessons, twice a day, 12/7-12/11! Learn more at code.org/codebytes.

CoderDojo is a global movement of free, volunteer-led, community-based computer programming clubs for young people. Children can visit a Dojo where they can learn to code, build websites, create apps or games, and explore technology in an creative and social environment.

To all our past and present Ninja Families:

We hope you and your family/friends are all doing well during this difficult time. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the summer SH CoderDojo courses. The library has been closed to the public for the past two months due to the pandemic and all scheduled events and programs have been canceled until further notice. For more library COVID-19 information and updates, please visit the SHPL website link here.

However, there are still plenty of opportunities to learn code! We would like to provide you some links and information to both study and practice at home.

Code.org - https://code.org/hourofcode/overview Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding participation in computer science by making it available in more schools and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe computer science and computer programming should be part of the core curriculum in education, alongside other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, such as biology, physics, chemistry, and algebra.

Scratch - https://scratch.mit.edu/ With Scratch they can program their own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share creations with others in the online community. Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.

Free Code Camp – https://www.freecodecamp.org/ This is a great website that has hundreds of videos, tutorials, lessons – all for free! It can keep you busy all summer long!

We really hope to see you all in the fall!

Sincerely,
Safety Harbor CoderDojo Founders/Champions and Mentors
