#CSEdWeek with CS First
December 7, 2021 - December 9, 2021
Free Funded by Code with Google
Code with the Pros!
Did you ever imagine you and your class could be coding alongside Google Software Developers?
Now’s your chance during Computer Science Education Week!
Three Lessons to code and learn with cs first
Join Google Canada, Code with Google and The Cobblestone Collective where we’ll use CS First for Scratch each day to learn to code. Plus, a software developer from Google will be learning alongside us!
On December 7th, 8th and 9th (from 11:30am to 12:30pm EST) we’ll be celebrating CSEdWeek with you as we all learn to code. Each 60-minute lesson will inspire your class with a challenge to complete.
These lessons are perfect for Grade 4 to Grade 8 classes.
Oh, and did we mention that the Google Software Developers will be completing those challenges too?! At the end of each lesson, we’ll see the Googler’s coding creation and take a sneak peek inside their Scratch for CS First code!
Three days of coding, learning and creating together
December 7th
Get your Doodle On -- Taking inspiration from the 'Code Your Google Logo' lesson, along with examples of real Google Doodles, students are challenged to re-create their favourite Google Doodle inside Scratch for CS First.
December 8th
Escape Room Challenge -- Taking inspiration from the 'Unusual Discovery' lesson, students will be challenged to create unusual discoveries of their own inside their very own Digital Escape Room.
December 9th
Create Your Own Dino Game -- We’ll harness all of the skills we’ve learned using Scratch for CS first and attempt to re-create one of the greatest games of all time, Google Chrome’s Dinosaur Game.
AND the Googlers will be back on Wednesday, December 15th where we’ll showcase student creations to celebrate all of our learning with CS First!
Students? Googlers? Are you up for the challenge?
