Abstract

In addition to holding an Hour of Code at our student union on campus, we also connected with the local Mount Vernon Middle School. We helped organize and facilitate Hour Of Code events throughout the week so that each of the ~400 students in grades 5-8 at the middle school had the opportunity to try an Hour Of Code. At the end of the week, we held an after-school program where interested middle school students established their own computing club. This allows us to keep some of the momentum going from the Hour of Code. Students from our Cornell College ACM Student Chapter will continue to serve as mentors for students in the middle school computing club and work with them at events throughout the year.
