Looking for a gentle, self-paced introduction to Bootstrap? Try the Hours of Code below. No prior programming experience required!

Hour of Data

This Hour of Data lesson is a self-guided Desmos activity. Students explore data visualization, introductory programming using The Pyret Programming Language, and the application of Data Science to solve real problems. Students will investigate a data set of vehicle-wildlife collisions in Vermont and make recommendations about where to build wildlife overpasses.

Image Composition!

This Hour of Code lesson introduces students to image-producing functions, defining values and image placement using coordinates. A series of scaffolded student-paced activities in our Parley editor build student skills to the point that they’ll be ready to modify code in a Pyret starter file to build a snowman scene at the end!

Computing Needs All Voices!

In this lesson students learn about a diverse group of programmers through a short film and a gallery walk of our Pioneers in Computing and Mathematics Poster series, then consider the problem solving advantages that diverse teams foster. There is no coding involved in this lesson.

Intro to Graphics

This Hour of Code lesson is a great, self-paced activity to introduce students to Bootstrap. Students explore simple function composition and order of operations in WeScheme, and then build on that knowledge to create simple computer graphics.
