Our phenomenal McCall Elementary School Technology teacher Ms. Katherine Smith hosted McCall’s first-ever McCall Code-A-Thon on Friday, December 7, 2018. We are so proud of all of the students who participated!
Per Ms. Smith, “During the Code-A-Thon, students are presented with coding challenges which they will have the opportunity to research, plan and create a finished product. The projects are then judged on their adherence to the required components and the creative execution of the idea. Please be assured that not all judges are computer programmers. One of the goals of the competition is to include people of different professions as coding is quickly becoming an integral part of education and occupational preparedness.”
Congratulations to all the students who participated and to the 2018 winners:

The purpose of this technology is to teach the students coding, computational thinking, communication and design thinking skills.
McCall小学技术Katherine Smith老师于2018年12月7日星期五主持了McCall的首次McCall Code-A-Thon。我们为所有参加的学生感到骄傲！
根据Smith女士的说法：“在Code-A-Thon期间，学生们面临编码挑战，他们将有机会研究，计划和创建成品。然后根据他们对所需组件的遵守情况以及创意执行的想法判断项目请放心，并非所有评委都是计算机程序员。竞赛的目标之一是包括不同职业的人，因为编码正在迅速成为教育和职业准备的一个组成部分。
