Coding a MakerSpace

9/23/2018

 
By Debi Tice
The 2018 School Library Leadership Academy in Juneau focused on the lens of STEAM.  I have been interested in coding for some time, and would primarily use Scratch for a unit on coding when I taught middle school Computer Science classes.  In my role as librarian, I would promote “Hour of Code” and would use their site in December for a week or two of lessons. This past spring I was able to host an after-school coding club for our middle school students.  We used a variety of resources such as Code.org, Spheros, Google’s CS First.  I built lessons for the students in Google Classroom and allowed them pretty much free time to explore and build where they saw fit.  This Google Slide, “Coding as MakerSpace”, has multiple links for exploration that I used.  It also includes many of the resources shared with us during the STEAM academy in Juneau.
