Hour of Code at AYC: December 8-12, 2014

December 8th to 14th is Computer Science Education Week. To mark this, the AYC will be participating in the worldwide Hour of Code event, to give our kids some experience of the fun and challenge of computer programming.

The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics.

For more information, see http://HourofCode.com/us

We are planning three sessions on Monday 8th, Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th, between ~4:30 and 6pm.   These events will be held in the Computer Lab of the West Medford Community Center (WMCC). They are open to ANY Medford students between 8-14yrs.  

If you are interested in volunteering to help, please email  medfordinthemiddle (at) gmail.com indicating which afternoon you can be there.

If your child is interested in attending, please email medfordinthemiddle (at) gmail.com with the following details: 

- Student Name

- Age / Grade

- Day to attend

HourofCode participants should arrive at WMCC  (111 Arlington St, West Medford) by 4:30pm to get set up.  Participants are welcome to come to WMCC directly from school and participate in regular AYC activities (homework, snacktime, etc.) until 4:30pm. The WMCC is served by #7 bus from Brooks (Harvard@ Arlington Stop) and by #5 bus from the middle schools (Harvard @ Arlington Stop). 

Please note that the WMCC Computer Lab will ONLY be available to HourofCode participants on Mon, Wed and Thu afternoons this week.

Looking forward to some coding fun!

The AYC is managed by Medford in the Middle (MinM), on behalf of the West Medford Community Center (WMCC).
