Coding for Kids
Earth Day! It’s a great time to learn about the earth, reflect on how our actions affect the environment, make a difference, and inspire others to take action as well. According to the Earth Day Network, planting trees is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the amount of Carbon Dioxide produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles and provides enough oxygen for 18 people.
Your students can program a fun game where you plant trees to lower the CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Students can send their games to friends and family to remind them to make a positive impact on the planet this Earth Day.
To program the game, students follow easy step-by-step instructions. Encourage them to draw their own trees and make the earth day game their own. Students can research ways to live more sustainably and even choose their own themes for their game, like recycling, using alternative transportation, reducing the amount of meat you eat, or conserving energy.
Don’t forget to go outside when you’re done to plant some real trees and celebrate the bountiful planet we live on!
