<br />
A few weeks ago the PTA agreed to let <a href="http://codeladder.org/">Code Ladder</a> take over the Brassfield Coding Club. After they did some research, it was determined that WCPSS would not allow us to run the club without renting the space from the county. This is very expensive and would not allow us to offer classes at reasonable prices.<br />
<br />
Because I am working full time with <a href="http://codeladder.org/">Code Ladder</a>, I am not able to commit the hours on a personal basis to run the club. Therefore I will be stepping down. If you love the Coding Club and think it is worth continuing please reach out to the PTA.<br />
<br />
I offered to run this first coding club session independently of <a href="http://codeladder.org/">Code Ladder</a>, but PTA has decided to cancel the Tracks 2 & 3 sessions coming in September, in order to regroup and see if they can keep it running. If you have submitted an application, I apologize. Again if you would like to see the Coding Club continue, please contact the PTA!<br />
<br />
The last four years running the Coding Club have been incredibly rewarding, it was amazing to see your children learn and grow when they thought they were just playing a video game. They are the reason I decided to start <a href="http://codeladder.org/">Code Ladder </a><br />
<br />
On a brighter side, we had our Workshop today! Kids had a blast making Flappy Bird games, programming Ozobots, experimenting with circuits, making music and more! I hope your children continue to explore technology on their own, if you ever need any resources, I am more than happy to help you find games, apps, and programs that will provide both fun and educational experiences.<br /><br />If you have any questions, please email me at brassfieldcodingclub@gmail.com.<br /><br />Best,<br />Sara Teristi<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12229752183155731872noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614710458987189104.post-9280281345569608392018-08-03T09:25:00.000-04:002018-08-11T13:22:44.011-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Calling All Track 1 & 4 Students in 1st - 5th grade!!!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Registration opens Monday October 23rd</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">BCC 3.0 is all new with new lesson plans, new programs, new toys, and even more fun than ever before! </span></div>
<br />
This year we will be using <a href="https://www.cs-first.com/clubplan/storytelling">CS First</a>, <a href="https://www.playcodemonkey.com/">Code Monkey</a> and <a href="https://www.playcodemonkey.com/game-builder">Game Builder</a> to complete projects and design games while learning core computer science concepts. Classes will be divided into 3 groups, Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced based on grade level and experience. Classes are taught by Brassfield's own Software Developer parents. Their love for the field has brought them together to create a fun, positive, and encouraging environment for students to explore STEM concepts and to create a lifelong love of learning in students.<br />
<br />
All 1st - 5th grade students are invited to apply. We are hoping to admit all students who apply but depending on the numbers there is no guarantee that we will be able to admit everyone. So please complete your applications, have fun with your essays, and submit everything on time!<br />
<br />
In addition to our 6 week session we will be hosting BCC Workshops though out the year. We are planning on purchasing programming toys for students to explore these include <a href="https://www.buildpiper.com/">Piper Kits</a>, <a href="http://microduinoinc.com/">Microduino</a>, <a href="http://www.sphero.com/">Spheros</a>, <a href="https://www.makewonder.com/dash">Dash and Dot</a>, and hopefully more in the future.<br />
<br />
The cost is $15 (that's only $2.50 a class!) this will pay for licensing fees and educational toys. These things are expensive and we receive zero outside funding for our materials and programs, so if you are able to (and would like to help) consider adding an extra $5 to the club fee to help pay for programs and toys. Or if you are interested in purchasing educational toys for us, please contact Sara Teristi at brassfieldcodingclub@gmail.com<br />
<br />
Thank you for encouraging STEM learning in your students. We hope you will join us this year for a ton of computing fun!<br />
<br />

<b>Who Can Join:</b></div>
<div>
Any 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade student regardless of prior club participation or experience. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We had a lot to fit in but we got it all done! Today students learned about algorithms and created unplugged programs for a partner to follow. We signed onto our code.org accounts and got started learning to program via drag and drop commands. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Parents be on the look out for a LONG email with a list of information to get your student set up for the rest of our session. Please make sure they create their Edmodo account and remind them to always log onto their code.org account when they play at home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Homework is posted on Edmodo, remember to finish it and bring it next week to win a trip to our prize box.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Can't wait to see you all next week! </span><br />

I hope everyone learned something new and had fun during our time together! We covered quite a bit over our 8 weeks.... nested loops, algorithms, debugging, conditionals, we even learned binary! Sign in to your code.org account whenever you want to continue your lessons, make a game, or create some code art. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Keep following our blog, twitter, and Facebook to find out about coding classes in the area, coding games you can play through out the year, and information on next year's club. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Congratulation to Loukas, Campbell and Taylor for winning The Most Badges Competition! Check out the BTV link for March 23rd below to see them receiving their awards! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We hope you all had a great time, thanks for joining us! </span><br />
