The weather outside may be frightful, but coding is so delightful! Winter break is coming, which means schools will be out and our coding classes will be on hold for the holidays. As our students get ready for seasonal fun and look ahead to winter break, they are likely to be coding a lot less than usual. With all the twinkling lights, gift giving, and holiday spirit, distractions are understandable. But if we at The Coding Space could send one message home to each child this winter season, it would be this: don’t forget about the magic of code.
Coding lets us create new worlds, explore our biggest ideas, express our deepest passions, do what all kids—not to mention adults—dream of being able to do: whatever we can imagine. You have to admit that’s pretty magical.
This is why we’ve created Seasons of Code—a free source of daily inspiration and ideas perfect to keep kids honing their skills and exploring the magic of coding, even outside of class. In Seasons of Code: Winter, a new winter-themed prompt will be revealed on our page each day, giving young coders direction and opportunities to learn something new, all at a pace that works for them. Coders can look forward to challenges like creating a virtual snowball fight, using confetti to celebrate the new year, and much more!
Anyone can participate in Seasons of Code. Just have your child go to this Scratch page each day of December to see the latest prompt. Once they’ve made a project, we encourage them to add it to our Scratch studio so we can all share in the joy.
We can’t wait to see all of the creativity and imagination that comes out of our first Season of Code. Happy Holidays from the team at The Coding Space. We’re wishing you all the very best this winter!
