Thing 17: Coding

I did the Hour of Code and was able to get the bird to the pig and the zombie to the sunflower :) 
I assisted in a summer tech camp last year and was introduced to MIT Scratch.  The other instructor and I introduced the simple commands, but after going through the Hour of Code I have a much better understanding of how it works.  This year my school has Club Fridays a few times a month and I run the tech camp and I am going to have the next camp session use this hour of code.  I thought animating their name would also be a fun project, but it requires you to login.  The club is 3-5 graders, so this will not work. 
The students can take what they learn in Hour of Code and apply it to Scratch.
