Rainbow Messages of Hope Posted in Windows Across NB
Today, with COVID-19 worries, the NHL playoffs will most probably not take place this year, but we can still pin up messages of hope in our windows. In New Brunswick, there is a movement called "NB we will be OK," that is quickly spreading across the province.
The family of 9-year old Talia Michaud of Dieppe, NB, has started a Facebook group to get children who are staying at home to draw rainbows and pin them up on their windows for all to see. The group is not even one week old and there are already over 10,000 members, and growing.
Rainbows are popping up all over the country and the world. Two weeks ago, colorful rainbows began showing up on city streets in Italy – one of the hardest hit regions in the world. There are even hearts and rainbows showing up in Nova Scotia neighborhoods, but it is really exploding in New Brunswick. Even more so now that pictures are being posted online with the Facebook group.
It's a great thing for kids (and parents) to be sending out positive messages of hope. The drawings, paintings, sculptures and digital arts of rainbows give students a project to work on as they self-isolate at home. Those who are home from school and work (all of us except essential services, right?) can be given an emotional lift when out for a walk to see all the rainbows in our neighborhood windows. Even the Avenir Centre in Moncton, NB is getting in on the action lighting up the structure in rainbow lights.
You really shouldn't visit your neighbors, but you can post a message of hope in your window for them to see and hopefully lift their spirits. Don't worry NB – we will be OK!

We would like to thank all of the many EduCode teachers and learners who submitted entries for this contest. There were some very interesting videos and photos submitted, making it a very challenging job to pick the winners. Congratulations to Brenda from Mexico and Rianna from India for your winning submissions to our EduCode video contest in April!
With the COVID-19 pandemic situation, we are not able to thank our teachers in person for what they do for us and our children. We certainly learned to appreciate our undervalued teachers during these past weeks! Now, with our kids home and trying to continue the learning journey for them ourselves, we recognize how crazy a job teachers really have.
With businesses and schools closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, many education businesses are having to pivot to a new business model to adjust to the new normal. We reached out to a few of our coding camp partners to see what they are doing to address the needs of social distancing and what changes they are enacting – which may become a normal part of their offering going forward.
Looking for something fun to do with your children while they are not working on their EduCode lessons, cooking with you or doing other educational projects? EduCode wants to hear from you!
Just over one month has passed since the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11th. A lot has transpired since then, impacting virtually every student and family across the globe. In our mutual response to battle this quickly spreading virus, we have seen global collaboration of the scale never experienced before.
Today, with COVID-19 worries, the NHL playoffs will most probably not take place this year, but we can still pin up messages of hope in our windows. In New Brunswick, there is a movement called "NB we will be OK," that is quickly spreading across the province.
The continued spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world has understandably raised concerns for you and your families. At EduCode, the well-being of our valued customers is of the deepest concern to us as this situation continues to evolve and we commend those of you who have taken on the challenge to #FlattenTheCurve by staying home!
Now that COVID-19 has shut down many schools, as well as daycare centers, movie theaters and play houses, governments are recommending that we all practice social distancing in an effort to "flatten the curve." What does this actually mean?
To enjoy the full benefits of a tech-driven economy, students need to know more than just how to use technology, but also how it works and how to create it. This is where learning to code comes in.
Over the past decade, technological breakthroughs have spurred exponential growth for career opportunities in both existing and new fields. One-third of new occupations in the United States were created only in the past 25 years.
We started this series of blog articles to help instructors, facilitators and educators plan, run and teach STEM classes or programs more effectively. Lessons should be as enjoyable and engaging for the teacher as the student. We hope that the topics we cover will provide you with some new ideas, insights and tools to create a truly immersive learning environment for your students.
