CS Family & Community Engagement

Family Night: Coding

This hour-long special will encourage children, ages kindergarten through fifth grade, and their families to get excited about computer science together. Computer science is an exciting and growing field that impacts the world in countless ways. A large part of computer science is computer coding. If you do not know much about computer coding, you will not want to miss this special. Children and their families will not only learn about coding and the exciting careers that that depend on it, they’ll also be invited to participate in hands-on activities that will help to introduce the basic principles of coding.

CS is Elementary

PaTTAN is pleased to invite every elementary school in Pennsylvania to participate in National Family Code Nights, a free live-stream family learning event for any K-5 school. Even when in-person school gatherings may be impossible, any K-5 school community can share this wonderful learning experience, in which each K-5 child pairs up with a parent or other older partner to do their very first hour of coding, together! No experience needed! It’s great fun, proven in thousands of schools nationwide, and now provided via a live-stream to any school. Schools just select their date at CSisElementary.org, and distribute a provided invitation to families. That’s it! Family members, teachers and educators then join the live-stream from home or school to enjoy an important, delightful experience. A live prize drawing for a Home Robotics Bundle from Wonder Workshop will be featured at each National Family Code Night. So visit CSisElementary.org, pick the Date you want your school community to attend, and give your school community a learning experience they’ll love and value.
