Computer Programming


This month the girls began an introduction to computer programming by learning about Ada Lovelace.  In 1843, Ada Lovelace became known as the first computer programmer and predicted the future of technology.  During Ada Week, October 13-17th, we watched various short video clips and read articles about her life.  With a partner, the girls create a Google Presentation about Ada’s Life.  Now we are working in Scratch, a programming language created by MIT.  To learn more about this program visit http://scratch.mit.edu/parents/
You can view your child’s work online throughout the unit!
