ComputerEngineering.org (Computer Engineering): Rasmussen College Celebrates Computer Science Education Week

November 29, 2018 By admin

College creates online coding game to encourage youth to get involved in computer science

Rasmussen College, a regionally accredited private college, today announced its continuing support for Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), an annual program committed to inspiring K–12 students to take interest in computer science and coding at a young age.1 During CSEdWeek 2018, which takes place Dec. 3–9, kids of all ages are encouraged to participate in Hour of Code®, a global project devoted to inspiring students to enter the world of coding through fun, approachable one-hour events often sponsored by their schools or youth organizations. In an effort to demystify computer science and support industry initiatives, Rasmussen College has just launched a new interactive coding game for kids, Rassy’s Picnic Party, to inspire the next generation of programmers to be successful in the digital economy.

“Children growing up in the 21st century already know more about computer usage than most of their parents do. But, to truly move forward, they need to know not just how to use a computer – they need to know how to make a computer’s programs work for them,” said Jennifer Ayotte, department dean for the Rasmussen College School of Technology. “As a college focused on bridging educational divides, we know that early learning will benefit students in the long run as they become more and more comfortable with the technology around them. Rasmussen College is excited to offer this fun Picnic Party game as part of Computer Science Education Week, and we encourage teachers and parents to dedicate at least an hour of their time to play – and learn – with the children in their lives.”

New Game Is Hands-on Coding for Kids

Rassy’s Picnic Party is an easy-to-learn game that helps kids, and kids at heart, to understand how their favorite games are made, as well as experience firsthand the thrill of creating what they see on the screen. Through 24 levels geared towards fourth graders and above, players will key in snippets of code using the web coding language CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to help Rassy, the Rasmussen College moose, set out a picnic for his friends. Players will position picnic food on matching plates in increasingly creative scenarios.
