    What winter-themed activities are you doing in your computer science classroom this season?

    I'm looking forward to trying the Micro.Bit holiday activities on the short week before we start break!  I think the Python Snowflake looks like a fun one to try with my 8th graders.  Even if it bleeds into January, it's still a snowflake!

    one activity I like to do is build snowflakes, Christmas trees, snow figures, and other holiday decorations with code (various languages, with art/drawing libraries)

    Play this digital version of dreidel by dropping chocolate coins through a coin slot at the top of the RGB matrix. The dreidel will "spin" and if you win, the chocolate coins will be dumped out with a servo motor.

    Our explorations brought us to some of the fun activities and we have choosing to have https://santatracker.google.com/ as an activity for Middle schoolers.
