Dear Families,
We are excited to announce that this year’s Hour of Code is next week from Dec 8 thru the 14th. This is a worldwide initiative that introduces students to the power and possibilities of computer science. This year’s theme, “An Hour with AI,” invites students to explore how artificial intelligence works and to think critically about the role it plays in our everyday lives.
To support this learning experience, we will be using resources from CSforALL’s Hour of AI, which offers engaging, age-appropriate activities designed to help students understand and interact with AI concepts. You are welcome to explore the materials at:

Please note that while many of the activities are browser-based and accessible on school devices, some games and interactive tools require downloads or installations. Because our school computers are limited in what they can install, a few of these experiences may not be available during class. Feel free to try these additional activities at home if you would like to extend your child’s learning beyond the classroom.
We hope this event sparks curiosity, creativity, and confidence in our students as they explore the world of AI and computer science. Thank you for your continued partnership and support of technology education.
Sincerely,
The Library Media/TECH Team
Hanover Hills Elementary
