On Friday December 9th, we participated in Maker Day with the rest of our school community. Many schools in our board, as well as nationally and internationally participated in an Hour of Code. https://hourofcode.com/ca explains this movement as: "The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science". Thank you Mme Taparluie for arranging this day at SWPS!
For our verstion, we chose a STEM activity (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Students were encouraged to design snowflakes. They were given pattern blocks and sample planning sheets to start, they had the option of drawing a plan or planning to draw a snowflake of their own design. Check out some of their work below:
