Today we had the wonderful opportunity to have a guest speaker, Amanda Coutts, come to Parkcrest and introduce us to Coding. Many scientists in Division 7 were already familiar with coding, but she introduced us to body movement coding which was a great activity for us to wake up our minds and bodies after lunch time.

Inquire with your scientists what they liked most about these coding activities this afternoon.

Can you create a code for your family members to follow (i.e., if I clap my hands that means stand up – if I wave my hands that means you sit down)? Once you establish your coding message, can you communicate to someone without talking? Was it hard or easy to communicate in code?
