Coding Activity – Collaborative Art Chanukah Mural
Your students will create the code to produce a Chanukah themed bulletin board. They will analyze the image provided, and design the instructions to reproduce it on a larger scale. This activity is good preparation for computer programming where coding is an essential skill. Once the coding is complete, a set of instructions has been created. Your students can then exchange sheets and follow the code to produce a beautiful bulletin board. (To use this as a math or gematria review see Alternate Uses below.)
