National 4-H Youth Science Day: CODE YOUR WORLD

Submitted by Amy Sollock

Code Your World

Pre-sale for this year's National Youth Science Day Kit is ending soon! This October, 4-H and Google will launch an exciting National Youth Science day challenge, Code Your World, which invites kids to get involved in computer science through hands on doing. Invite kids to get involved in computer science through hands-on doing with our Code Your World Challenge.

Code Your World is a four-part computer science (CS) challenge that teaches kids to apply CS to the world around them through hands-on activities. Developed by Google and West Virginia University Extension Service, it includes a computer-based activity on Google’s CS First platform and three unplugged activities that bring coding to life through games and interaction.

Code Your World uses games and hands-on fun to teach kids important CS and computational thinking concepts, and is perfect for first-time and beginner coders ages 8-14. Each kit is designed to accommodate up to 10 youth. Visit Shop 4-H to pre-order today, or visit https://4-h.org/parents/national-youth-science-day/ for more information.
