Hour of Code Claymont

Hour of Code™ är ett initiativ av Computer Science Education Week och Code.org för att introducera miljontals elever till en timmes datavetenskap och datorprogrammering. Med enormt stöd och uppmärksamhet är det en idealisk tidpunkt för skolor och distrikt att sätta strålkastarljuset på datavetenskapliga program och utöka möjligheterna. Hour of Code började som en entimmes kodningsutmaning för att ge elever en rolig första introduktion till datavetenskap och har blivit ett globalt pedagogiskt event och event för att fira och skapa mer intresse. HourOfCode.com erbjuder hundratals entimmesaktiviteter på över 48 språk för barn från förskolan och uppåt. Aktiviteterna kräver ingen erfarenhet och kan köras från webbläsare, surfplattor och smartphones - vissa kräver ingen dator alls.

Varför datavetenskap?

Datavetenskap förändrar alla branscher. Dagens elever bör ha möjlighet att lära sig hur man skapar teknik. Datavetenskapliga begrepp bidrar också till att främja kreativitet och problemlösningsförmåga för att förbereda eleverna för alla framtida karriärer med datoryrken som de snabbast växande, bäst betalda och nu den största sektorn i många länder. Alla barn förtjänar möjligheten att lyckas. Eleverna älskar det också! Nya undersökningar visar att bland de ämnen som eleverna "tycker mycket om" ligger datavetenskap och teknik i topp - bara scenkonst, konst och design ligger högre.

Genom ChangeX kan ni få bidrag för att anordna en Hour of Code i er skola eller kommun och även vidta åtgärder för att gå längre än en Hour of Code och integrera datavetenskap i läroplanen. Registrera er här för att komma igång.

Varför datavetenskap?

The One Hour of Code was successful. The library reported a high interest in registrants. Since the One Hour of Code it created an opportunity for us to host an afterschool club called Digital Club for Kids for youth ages 7-10. The club meets the first Saturday of every month. With the grant money we were able to receive training from Dawn Carrera & Co Media LLC doing business as Create Tech Labs. With this training we are learning how to incorporate coding with robotics. We also were able to purchase two robotics that we can use with coding. We were also able to pay a consultant to teach two coding classes who has a background in technology.

Action plan:

Timeline:

We will have one hour of code on Saturday, September 9, 2023, at 12 noon. It will be for youth ages 7-10 within our community.

We had our kick-off meeting on Monday, August 7, 2023. We had 5 participants. We will have our next meeting on Saturday, August 12, 2023, at 11am, to discuss the coding lesson chosen that will be implemented during the One Hour of Code. The last meeting will be Friday, August 25, 2023, to finalize details before Labor Day Break. The time for that meeting will be determined.

Budget:

We are going to purchase 2 Mini Sphero robots to use during class with youth. It will cost approximately $130. We will also participate in training to learn how to teach robotics which will cost approximately $200. Ipad mini for $100 to control robots. The remaining funding will be used for software and other equipment.

Impact:

There are various coding classes, but many of these training courses have a tuition fee making it not affordable for some families. We would like to offer our One Hour of Code in a public setting that is easily accessible and where finances are not an issue, such as the library.

Our targeted goal is to have between 8-10 kids participating in the first class. We have designed a flyer that will be advertised at the local library. We also plan to advertise on Eventbrite and through email contacts. Each team member will also advertise on their social media platforms. We also plan on conducting a mini survey or poll with the families that will participate to see what we can do differently in the future.

Overall, we want to increase interest in coding and robotics for at-risk youth in the Claymont/Wilmington, Delaware area.

Location:

We formulated a partnership with Claymont Library to host One Hour of Code at their location on Saturday, September 9, 2023. The class will meet at 12 noon. Our goal is to start off with One Hour of Code and lead into a Digital Club for Kids that meets the first Saturday of every month for an hour. We have already received approval for these meetings from Claymont Library.

Our youth leader is playing a vital role in the formation of this plan. Our kid leader helps select the lesson plan that will be taught. She selected from various lessons on Scratch software program that she thought would be interesting and keep the youth engaged. Our kid leader will also help co-teach One Hour of Code. She will show the class a certain segment of the lesson plan.

We will foster youth involvement by having them choose between two topics what the next lesson plan will be for next class. Youth will also learn to work in group projects together, serving as teacher assistants, and doing a public demonstration of what they worked on at the end of class.
