Google CS First An Unusual Discovery
Google CS First has launched a new activity to celebrate the Hour of Code. 2nd-9th grade public school teachers who engage their students in this new coding activity,
An Unusual Discovery, can earn a $100 DonorsChoose.org gift code. The activity uses video-based lesson plans for teachers - no computer science background required!
Code.org Dance Party
Hour of Code: Dance Party is Code.org's featured activity for the Hour of Code. The tutorial teaches students to code, get creative, and even dance, all at once. Students can choose from 30 hits like Ariana Grande's "No Tears Left to Cry," Lady Gaga's "Born this Way," Katy Perry's "Firework," or international hits like J Balvin's "Mi Gente."
The tutorial helps students code interactive dance moves and special effects as they learn basic CS Concepts.

Wonder Workshop has released six new packets to use in classrooms during the Hour of Code and beyond! Each printable packet contains several creative coding activities, both online and offline. The packets include free challenge cards, creative DIY robot challenges, screen-free puzzles, recommended reading, vocabulary, and fun facts.
