Abstract

One of the two USAFA CS Ed Week events was a school-wide Hour of Code led by Tess Livingston and Matt Kiser at Woodmen-Roberts Elementary School in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The event kicked off with a visit from a Nao robot and his human friends from the Department of Computer Science at the United States Air Force Academy. With the help of Cadet Lilly Warner, the Nao robot demonstrated its dexterity with a Tai Chi Chuan exercise, sang "Let it go" from the Frozen soundtrack, danced to "Happy" from Despicable Me, and conversed with the children motivating them to learn how to write code. Follow on activities in the computer lab with Mr. Kiser focused on the Hour of Code tutorials from code.org and tynker.com. The children from grades K through 5 all had a great time.
