Computer Club Startup

Computer Club has begun and what a turnout! The first meeting, there were more students than chairs or computers. As a result, Mrs. Short divided the students into two groups that will meet on alternating Mondays. That way, everybody will have a chair and a computer to work at!

For the initial meeting, students were willing to buddy up and tackle the first activity - Lightbot, found on the Hour of Code website. Lightbot is a "game" that is an introduction to the thought processes necessary for programming.

Students also decided the format for the club. Mrs. Short gave them the option of an on-going project or a different activity each week. Students chose the latter, so each week they will be introduced to a different app or computer science activity that they can follow up at home. In coming weeks, they will be trying out "Build with Chrome" and puzzles from Code.org.
