Youth Code Jam

Our annual Low Sensory Jam creates a safe, welcoming space for kids to explore, play, and connect. This year, we had the amazing support of volunteers from Texas A&M San Antonio, Wavelength, and Churchill High School Robotics.

Students need time at the end of class to make sense of what they just learned. Here are 8 engaging closing activities to help with that. ✨

Ready to ignite your students’ passions? Register for Hour of Code and follow a step-by-step guide to prepare your event. You’ll find information on new and updated activities, along with materials to inspire your students! Learn more: buff.ly/3u7t68n
