Delavan-Darien School District students will be practicing computer “Coding” over the next couple of weeks. Library Staff (K-12) and Computer (K-5) are challenging all our students to discuss or show someone outside of the school “What coding can do.”
Library and Computer staff will be tracking how many people our students reach out to from Dec. 4 through Dec. 17. Younger students will use a print form, while grades 3-12 will use a Google Form to track the data. We are hoping to update readers over the next two weeks on how many “people” our students “touch” over the next two weeks.
Why is this happening?
December 4-10, 2017 is Computer Science Education week in Wisconsin. Computer science teaches students foundational 21st-century knowledge, including how to analyze data, how to program an app, and how the internet can be harnessed for business. Wisconsin students now benefit from academic standards in computer science and information and technology literacy that help them understand fundamental concepts to further their skills in today’s technological world.
