Today is Codesgiving at **AnnieCannons**. Our students are sharing code they wrote since August that they are proud of or is meaningful to them in some way. Our newest programmers are dabbling in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and the joy and confidence they show in sharing their code is so inspiring. Happy Codesgiving to all! π
AnnieCannon's current frontend students won "Crowd Favorite" at the Annual Girl Develop It Hackathon! These students joined our bootcamp in March, learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a little React along the way. Instructor Catie Hart taught them to be fearless in exploration, how to manage frustrated feelings, and to stay positive and resilient in the tech world. Our student's growing self-confidence lead them to this finish with only 7 months of coding experience. Congrats, students! π
It's World Teachers Day - congrats to my team!
Weβre thrilled to introduce our new Technical Computer Foundations curriculum! Our teaching team has spent the last month crafting a program that blends self-improvement exercises with technical content, all in a trauma-informed way. This curriculum is designed to help our students feel confident and supported as they explore the unknown and develop the skills they need to succeed as tech professionals. We canβt wait to see them thrive! www.anniecannons.org
Finished my certificate series on Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise from Oregon State University. I learned a ton about Storyline and the problems it solves in creating self-paced teaching modules, complete with quizzes and grading.
