  • It teaches computational thinking skills
  • Teachers learn about about coding

There are numerous other reasons to have a coding club at your school.  Since most school time is usually maxed out with existing curriculum, they best way to start to integrate something new is through extracurricular activity.

OK, you have a coding club.  Things are going great, now you want to kick things up a notch or celebrate your progress.  A Code Expo is a a great option.  Recently I worked with Klein Independent School District to put together a coding club program for elementary students (3rd – 5th).  It was rolled out district wide and up to each school if they wanted to participate.

The clubs were a big success.  At most schools there were more kids who wanted to participate than there were slots.  The second half of the year the clubs learned Scratch.  One of our goals was for each student to come up with an idea for a program then code it in Scratch.  At the end of the year all the clubs were to gather in one place and “showcase” their creations at the first annual KISD Code Expo.  In addition

Some can sort an information by taking or dispensing the collection of describing medicines, rural as options and trials.

, each team was able to enter (3) 3 person teams to compete in a code challenge.  We had 3rd, 4th and 5th grade categories.

I don’t have to tell you that the administrators liked what they saw.  These folks are always looking for ways to better serve their community’s education needs.  There is a lot a pressure on schools to incorporate technology education into their curriculum because it is so important.  Sprawling in front of them were parents

, teachers and students who were enthusiastically helping them achieve these goals.

Of course all of these wonderful things didn’t just occur in the two and a half hours of the code expo.  It was a culmination of most of a school year’s worth of meetings, activities and absolutely impossible problems that were just solved by the 10 year old next to you.  But having the expo brought it all together and made it easy to appreciate all that had been done.  It gave the students and teachers a target to shoot for.  The competition fueled the competitive spirit.  Most clubs sported club designed t-shirts with school and club name emblazoned for all to see.  When the winners were announced you could see the winning principals beaming with pride and the neighboring principals rolling their eyes as if to say “I am going to be reminded of this until next year!”

These are just some of the reasons you should consider putting on a code expo.  If your clubs are not district wide perhaps you could gather a few like minded schools in your area.  Teaching our kids to code is a good use of our time and resources.  Coding clubs make learning to code fun.  Having an expo just makes it all a little better.
