Hour of Code

          The Hour of Code is seven days where professionals teach kids about coding. On Monday, first day we did Hour of Code we had a visitor speaker, Michael Eizsel from Weav Music. Michael spoke on what Weav Music is and what he did for the appMichael whats its like to go in for a meeting. Additionally on Monday we did some coding, the coding we did was to make a few character move.

         On Tuesday, we learn how to code with blocks so the next day we were able to teach a freshman class the next day. On Wednesday a class of freshmen came and we each picked a kid and taught them what we knew. The freshman I had already knew about hour of code so we were messing around making anything.Thursday we had visitor speaker Akiera Gilbert from Code.org, Akiera spoke about howshe is going to jails such as Rikers Island to show the detainees how to use tablets as a way to make the transition back into regular society smoother if they are to be released. 

On Friday we had Chris Lai from Microsoft speak to us on video call. Chris explained some parts of coding and what he recently does regarding coding. Chris recently created an automated program for a game he was played in order to succeed in it.
