Girls Who Code is underway! Today, we learned about Grace Hopper and her amazing career as a computer coder for the US Navy. She showed resiliency and creativity in her work developing new coding languages.
This week, our coders started working on their tutorials. Charlotte is learning all about APIs (which we now know refer to Application Programming Interface!). Sophia is using Thunkable to create an app. Kayla is working to create some excellent quizzes in Scratch. Emily is refining her Python skills to create a chatbot that will respond to human users. Ms. Kate is going to work on the Interactive Magazine feature. Next week, we will post links and screenshots to show how these tutorials are progressing. We also decided on a theme for our CS Impact project! Our website will look at BOOKS!! As a librarian, Ms. Kate is pretty stoked about that. Tune in for more information about what this website will achieve!

For our welcome week, everyone chose a trait they will be working on exemplifying and they selected a tutorial to pursue for the semester!
Ms. Kate is going to work on being BRAVE!!! To be brave, she is going to try the Python tutorial because she's never coded in Python before. Kayla is going to work on being RESILIENT!! She is going to work on the Quiz Game tutorial in Scratch. Charlotte is going to work on being BRAVE!! She is going to work on APIs in JavaScript - no one knows what that is, but Charlotte is going to master it and then teach it all to us. :-) Zoe is going to work on being PURPOSEFUL!! She will be learning more about the Chatbot tutorial. Emily is going to work on being even more CREATIVE than she already is! She will be working on the interactive magazine in Javascript tutorial. |
