Lomie G. Heard Elementary School is Clark County School District's premier public magnet school focusing on coding and robotics for all learners in elementary grades 1-5. Since opening in 2017, we offer our students a variety of coding experiences with visual coding blocks such as Scratch and Code.org, text based coding in Python or HTML/CSS, as well as AR/VR, and Unreal Engine 4. Students also have opportunities to work with a variety of robots such as Ozobot, Dash and Dot from Wonder Workshop, Spheros and Lego Mindstorm EV3. You can find out more about our school by visiting

Computer Science Education Week (
https://csedweek.org) is held December 9-13. To celebrate, our school hosts Hour of Code (
https://hourofcode.com/us) activities every day that week. We would love to have you visit our classes and learners to help them gain a further love and understanding of coding. What can you do with our leaners?
-do an unplugged activity to help them understand a coding concept such as sequence, loops, binary, functions, etc
-demo a game or app you developed or are currently working on
-help them write some code to accomplish a basic task
-share your story about coding and/or your job
Feel free to share this link with any other coders/developers that can inspire our learners. Questions can be sent to Mark Thomas at
