Hour of Code 2015 ... Coming SOON to an iPad NEAR YOU!

During the week of December 7-13, 2015 all students at Emma K. Doub Elementary will participate in the Hour of Code. Students in Mr. Dulberger's 5thGradeU will be exceptional leaders for this event. We will assist students in grades 1-5 with iPad applications like Kodable, Lightbot, and Hopscotch. Students in the 5thGradeU will also spent time learning authentic C++ coding with Arduinos and continue to practice coding skills with Lego Mindstorm Robotics. Mr. Dulberger's students have already developed a love for coding and continue to use critical and creative thinking skills to complete weekly and monthly LegoEV3 and Hopscotch challenges.
