Coding Creativity Reigns During Computer Science Education Week

Computational thinking skills and other STEM creativity mark this celebratory week. "Computer science should not be relegated to just one week per year, either. Educator Steven W. Anderson writes on EdTech that choosing Hour of Code projects that can be continued throughout the year is a great way to allow students to continue to explore their skills. He cites MIT App Inventor as a great tool for letting students step outside their initial activity. Students could look around their community for a problem to solve and use the app building to conceive a solution, Anderson writes."
