Year 2 Coding: Moonhack

YEAR 2 CODING: MOONHACK

20190725_121320.jpg

To start the term Year 2 have been participating in Moonhack. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing Year 2 have been building their own space-themed game.

On 20th July 1969, humankind landed on the moon. It was an incredible achievement for humanity and science.

Every year Code Club celebrate this ambition by getting as many kids together to write code alongside a space theme. The event aims to encourage children to get together with their friends, following the step-by-step instructions to create a moon themed game in Scratch. 

In 2017 there were 28,000 kids coding together. In 2018, it was 35,000.

Code Club are hoping to break the 40,000 mark this year and Year 2 should be so proud of what they have achieved. Who knows, maybe one day one of our St Joseph’s students will help send the first people to Mars.
