Students will learn that events are a useful way to control when an action happens, and can even be used to make make multiple things act in sync. In programming, you can use events to respond to a user controlling it (like pressing buttons or clicking the mouse). Events can make your program more interesting and interactive.

This amazing resource houses curated activities for Elementary students to explore coding during the week of Hour of Code.
Each slide is "grade-specific" & interactive, with the idea students explore one a day. Feel free to copy, edit, and share.
(Thanks, Tim!)

Find everything you need to do the Hour of Code with your students here!In today's digital world, coding has become an essential skill for students to develop, regardless of their future career paths. The Hour of Code is a global initiative designed to introduce students to the basics of computer science through fun, engaging, and interactive activities. Whether your students are beginners or have some coding experience, Hour of Code offers something for everyone!As a teacher, you play a pivotal role in encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. The Hour of Code empowers you to integrate coding into your classroom in a simple and accessible way, even if you don't have a background in programming.Learn more about the Hour of Code!

Decomposition: Kindergarten to Grade 3
Series: LIVE Code with Let’s Talk Science

In this 30-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of decomposition - the breaking down of a problem into smaller parts to make the problem easier to solve. Students will also begin to explore the computational concepts of sequences and loops.

Includes a teacher's guide.

Should you encounter any technical difficulties, please e-mail Network Services at the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education at stans@gov.sk.ca.ca or call 1-866-933-8333.

"In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of pattern recognition.

Pattern Recognition occurs when you can identify patterns. When you identify patterns, you can create rules that allow actions to be repeated automatically. Pattern recognition can also improve how quickly a problem can be solved."

The teacher's guide walks you through exactly how to use the broadcast in your classroom.

As part of their reporting process, they are required to report on participation and impact of our programs. If you could please take a moment to complete the following short survey with your students, it would be greatly appreciated. To access the survey, please visit : CanCode 2.0 (please copy and paste this web address into your browser) https://ccyouth.questionpro.ca/

In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of testing and evaluating.

Testing involves trying something and observing what happens.Evaluation is about using critical thinking and judgment to determine if a set of criteria are met. If not, then correction or improvement may be required. Computer programming tends to be an interactive process in which testing and evaluating are constantly occurring.

A teacher guide is also included.

You have a BBC micro:bit! Now you want some ideas on what to code? You are on the right page. Here you can find all our resources, guides and advice on using micro:bit.

Welcome to another Make Stuff Move coding lesson. This second lesson is going to show you how to move a servo using the knob on your animate shield.

Learn how to get the micro:bit working, program its features and create your first projects.

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, buttons, sensors and many input/output features that, when programmed, let it interact with you and your world.

Computing in your classroom - The micro:bit makes it easy to have immediate success with coding. It’s great for simple, tangible introductions to digital and computing technologies. Helping students learn what digital and computing technologies are and how they work.

Summer vacation has come to an end and school is back in session! Students will reminisce about their summer fun as they follow a step-by-step HTML/CSS tutorial in the Text Code Editor, where they'll create their own web page that captures the spirit of their summer adventures. By the end of this lesson, students will have combined creativity with problem-solving skills while reinforcing coding concepts and HTML/CSS syntax.
