Today, for our last lesson of Math 9 before the break, we are going to do something a bit different! 
We are going to try some basic computer programming, along with millions of other people from all over the world, for what is called "The Hour of Code". This is an initiative to try to introduce computer science, and the power of computer programming, to as many people as possible, all over the world! 

We're going to watch a really short intro video (find it here to watch it again: http://code.org/), and then you will get to choose your own activity for the rest of the class. You can choose from any of the activities below:

Easiest Beginner Activities:
-Frozen! Help Anna and Elsa to draw snowflakes, using block coding.
-Angry Birds! Help the Angry Birds to catch the nasty pig, using block coding.
-Make your own Flappy game! Use blocks to create and modify your own flappy bird game, and even save it to play on your phone later!
-Create your own game - use Tynker to create your own game. There are a variety of games and skill levels to choose from.
-Scratch - Use Scratch to animate your name, create a holiday card, or make a pong game
-Lightbot - help Lightbot to light up the blue tiles in this fun game that uses programming

Slightly Trickier Beginner Activities - using computer languages
-Draw with Code - Khan academy guides you through learning to draw using Javascript
-Animate your Name with Code Academy, using JavaScript
-CodeCombat - play a game and defeat ogres, while learning Python or JavaScript
-Make a Website - Khan Academy guides you through learning HTML to build a website
-Learn Javascript with Karel the Dog - give commands to Karel and see what happens!
-Make a Database - Khan Academy guides you through organizing and playing with data in a database, using SQL

Intermediate to Advanced Activities
-Learn all about how to use Javascript to draw and animate - you can skip ahead if you already know the basics, and learn something new!
-Learn all about how to use HTML and CSS to make really awesome websites - you can skip ahead if you already know the basics, and learn something new!
-Browse the whole range of programming opportunities on Code.org and find one that suits you!
