Frosty left us with the following challenge and left a QR code for us to scan.
It took us to the following video from President Obama!
President Obama challenged us to learn how to write computer code. Frosty left instructions with Mrs. Haney to show us a short project he created using the Hopscotch app. He made a monkey move across the stage (screen in "code talk") and then when we clapped our hands the monkey grew bigger. (Mrs. Haney said that was because the monkey was getting a big ego from all our clapping.)
We were impressed--all this from an elf who doesn't have opposable thumbs!
After a short tutorial, we spent time learning to write code to make avatars move across a screen.
It isn't every day that a class has an elf friend who has President Obama challenge them to learn to code. Can't wait to see what Frosty has in store for us next !
