We’re rolling out a fresh episode of What’s New in EDU in eager anticipation of next month’s Computer Science Education Week. That means it’s time for up-and-coming coders and will-be computer wizards to take a look at some new ways Microsoft Education is helping make Computer Science more open, more collaborative and more creative.
First, take a deep breath and dive into the new Minecraft Hour of Code tutorial, Voyage Aquatic, where students use their creativity and problem solving skills to explore and build underwater worlds with code. Then, keep them coding with Minecraft: Education Edition and the new Code Builder update.
Also, with this year’s Skype-a-Thon coming to a close (thanks to everyone for bringing their classrooms across all those virtual miles!), we’re also sharing what’s next: In partnership with Code.org, Skype in the Classroom is hosting free 30-minute classroom broadcasts and live Q&A with professionals who use code to create amazing things. Check below for more, including the introduction of a brand new tool to spark classroom collaboration: Microsoft Whiteboard for Education!
