Welcome Back CS Students!

Mr. Garcia here looking forward to a week full of exploring computer science!

First, check out what you can see in the skies during the month of September.

Tuesday - We'll be wrapping up creating our email signature.  Remember to send me an email to demonstrate that you have completed the signature.  Have fun with this and use a quote that means something to you.  If you need help, make sure you let me know in class!

Wednesday - Friday - We are going to start looking a what it takes to make a computer work.  Hardware mixed with software.  This week, you'll check out more of the hardware and start to work on some of the software.

Finished Early? - Make sure to create a Scratch account so we can start building code strings to make a computer work for you!  When you "JOIN Scratch", make sure to use your google account information & DO NOT use your real name.  Always use your gamer name.

Looking forward to working & learning with you this week!

Here is a great quote I heard this weekend.
