Two Special Invitations to Every Edna Maguire Family
First: Join us at Hour of Code Night. Edna Maguire and MV GATE invite you to "Hour of Code Night," a delightful introduction to computer science and coding for kids K-5 and their parents. Hour of Code Night is a one-hour series of engaging online puzzles that introduce important elements of computer programming. With these age-appropriate games, two-person teams do their first hour of coding together (kid+kid or kid+parent), in a shared, social learning experience. Produced as part of a national campaign supported by everyone from Barack Obama to Mark Zuckerberg to Bill Gates, Hour of Code employs world-class curriculum in a community of friends and classmates. Tested with remarkable success at Old Mill School, MV GATE’s Hour of Code Night will be Tuesday, March 25, from 5:45 – 7:00 pm, here at school. Please join us! Registration is free, but space is limited, so learn more and sign up here.
Second: Meet Beforehand to Help Out! Edna parents, educators and techies who want to support computer science learning at Edna are invited to a special Information Meeting prior to Hour of Code Night itself. We'll discuss elementary-school computer science learning, and, for those who code a bit, invite you to join us as volunteers and mentors on Hour of Code Night. Volunteering is great fun, you’ll love it! So please come by for this short prep meeting, Wednesday, March 19, at 5:30pm. Get more info and let us know you’re coming by signing up here.
We'll see you at Hour of Code Night!
