15. Tips for Hour of Code Events (and AspireIT apps)1.
Go Unplugged! CS Ed Week doesn’t have to be dominated by technology. 2.
You don’t have to have the technical know-how to be able to execute. If you can provide logistical support and students, you can find a partner to support you on the technical side. 3.
Build a framework, then flesh out the details. Get started earlier to provide more time to flesh out details with a partner. The more you wait, the more your students will too!
