Year 2: 2016-2017
The coding club continued into 5th grade. This time the girls are using CS First - Music and Sound. The Foshay seniors are still the teachers and every girl embeds what they learn on their portfolios - see sample portfolios here:
Cayla, Kate, Tullie
Year 1:
Girls Who Code FLC from Foshay Learning Center's Technology Academy and Girls Build LA Team started a coding class for 7 4th graders from Melrose Magnet. The first few meetings are about experimentation, building community and building the confidence to try new things.
The girls met once a month for two hours. Every meeting was project based and ended with the girls updating their digital portfolios that included a reflection and images from the meeting. The first meeting was Makey-Makeys. Girls experimented with programming musical instruments and games. See wrap of the day here. Meeting two was Digital Portfolios - the girls built their digital portfolios (they don’t need to be published, if you don’t want them on the web yet) but it is a place for the girls to document their experience. The last two meetings were programming in Scratch and programming with Spheros.
