Success StoryCode Your World



Code Your World

Author: Amanda Sublett

Planning Unit: Marion County CES

Major Program: Science, Engineering and Technology 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Youth and Adults Overcome Life Situations by Acquiring Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The 4-H National Youth Science Day Challenge, Code Your World, was taught to every 4th and 5th grader, approximately 550 kids, in the Taylor County and Campbellsville Independent School systems during October.  Code Your World integrates CS First, Google’s introductory computer science curriculum, with 4-H’s research-based youth development model, to show kids how they can use code both as a form of personal skill development and as a way to understand the world around them.  Students learned digital animation and gaming by animating their name using customized animation using code.  With CS First and Scratch, a block-based coding language developed by MIT, students made a name come to life through animation, sound and music. 95% of students designed an algorithm and learned several important skills, including pattern recognition, logic, problem solving and creativity through engagement in hands-on, experiential learning.
