Have you heard? You can celebrate National Youth Science Day all month long!

HughesNet (America’s #1 provider of satellite Internet and a supporter of 4-H) is doing something totally awesome in celebration of NYSD. Something you don’t want to miss.

national youth science day | code your world kit | teachmama.com

4-H has turned National Youth Science Day into a month-long celebration this year, with a challenge called Code Your World, which invites kids to get involved in computer science through hands-on doing.

And we are giving away 12 Code Your World Kits to 6 lucky winners. You get one kit, and you give one to a friend. Or you keep both. Or you give both to a classroom near you.

Whatever works.

Here’s the skinny. . .

National Youth Science Day: Code Your World Challenge

The Code Your World Challenge

This October, 4‑H launched an exciting National Youth Science Day challenge, Code Your World, inviting kids to get involved in computer science (CS) through hands-on doing. The national NYSD celebration kicked off October 1, and coding events can take place all throughout October.

Don’t you love the idea of kids getting involved in computer science through hands-on doing? Let them at it, and they will learn–and probably be able to teach us a little something!

Learn more here:

Easier than ever to facilitate, Code Your World is a four-part challenge that teaches kids ages 8-14 to apply CS to the world around them through hands-on activities. Developed by Google and West Virginia University Extension Service, each Code Your World kit includes a computer-based activity on Google’s CS First platform and three unplugged activities that bring coding to life through games and interaction.

How cool is that?

The four-part challenge is geared toward kids 8-14 years old and involves one computer-based activity and three unplugged activities that bring coding to life through games and interaction.

This 2018 National Youth Science Day Kit Includes:

  • 1 Facilitator Guide
  • 10 Youth Workbooks
  • 10 Certificates of Completion
  • 20 Completion Badge Stickers
  • 13 Scratch Coding Challenge Cards
  • Scratch Username and Password Sheet
  • 2 sets of 26 Dance Code Cards, plus 2 reference cards
  • 5 Dice
  • 5 Wooden Coins
  • Code Your Dance Poster
  • 40 Crayons
  • 13 Unique Scratch Activity Cards
  • 2 Deck of 26 “Code Your Dance” Activity Cards
  • The USB Drive Includes:
  • Offline versions of Scratch and Adobe Air (for Mac OS X & Windows)
  • Animate a Name Offline Instructions
  • Printable Facilitator Guide
  • Printable Scratch Coding Challenge Cards
  • Printable Certificates of Completion Badge Stickers
  • Printable Youth Workbook (Code Your Dance, AI, Code Your World)

THANK YOU, @imse_og for the best. training. ever!!

WHERE on earth did this week go? It completely flew by!

Our instructor, Becky Strimple, was AWESOME. I am officially hooked on the #OrtonGillingham method, and I am already looking at the next IMSE course I can take to get me closer to Comprehensive OG Plus Certification.

Day 4 of OG Training, and this 5 second video doesn’t even scratch the surface of what we covered. 

I have participated in dozens and dozens and dozens of trainings over the course of my career—and throughout my own education—but hands down this is the best one I have ever had. 

Every educator should take this. I don’t have the faintest idea why it’s not required for every edu degree. 

It’s not only a look at the best ways to teach decoding and encoding, but it’s a study of the English language as well. It’s wild.
