Merge Cube for Computer Science Week

This week is Computer Science Week, AKA Hour of Code. We are urging students to participate and we have an incentive. If a student completes at least one hour of code, they will put in the drawing to win a Merge Cube.

The Hour of Code is an initiative designed to introduce elementary students to the world of computer programming in a fun and accessible way. Typically held during Computer Science Education Week, this global movement encourages students to spend at least one hour engaging in coding activities, fostering a foundational understanding of computational thinking and problem-solving skills. The activities are designed to be age-appropriate and engaging, utilizing games, puzzles, and interactive platforms to make coding accessible even to those with no prior experience. The goal is to demystify coding and inspire an early interest in technology, encouraging students to see the creative and problem-solving aspects of programming. The Hour of Code aims to equip elementary students with the skills and confidence to navigate an increasingly digital world and consider future pathways in STEM-related fields.

Go to the Hour of Code website, and work for at least an hour. https://hourofcode.com/us/learn

Then, fill out this Google Form to be entered into a raffle to win an AR/VR Merge Cube.

The Merge Cube is a hands-on cube for augmented and virtual reality. It lets you hold digital 3D objects, enabling an entirely new way to learn and interact with the digital world. All you have to do is download Merge Cube apps to your phone or iPad and you are in for a fun time.
