Coding Club in Granville County Public Schools

This past summer, an Instructional Technology Facilitator (ITF) colleague and I had a chance to attend a FREE two-week Adventures in Alice coding workshop at Duke University.  The workshop was taught by a Computer Science Professor at Duke, Susan Rodger.  We learned how to create animated worlds and had an absolute blast doing so.

Here's an example of a world my colleague created on caring for your device:


As a result of the training we received, we were charged with thinking about how we could bring Alice Coding back to Granville County Public Schools.  My colleague and I thought we'd pilot after school coding clubs at two of our high schools.  Our first club is meeting on all four Mondays in October in their school's media center.

Here are a couple pictures of the students learning how to use Alice Coding:

In this particular workshop, we're learning how to create the Shark Attack world.  We are grateful for Ms. Distler's Google Site with so many awesome resources as we plan our coding club.

We can't wait to see how Alice coding spreads in Granville County Public Schools!
