Coding in the Classroom


Coding in the Classroom: If you’ve been considering coding with your students, now is the perfect time to start. As part of Computer Science Education Week (Dec 4-8), thousands of educators will try coding with their classrooms for the first time. You can join them using free programs from Google, including our newly launched coding activity from CS First, where students can create a their own Google logo and personalize everything from dancing letters to accompanying music.
