**Monthly Challenges** Beginning in November 2013, 'Real World' Monthly Challenges will be posted on the 'Global Coding Project' in which students and teachers from all o ver the world can attempt to solve 'Read World' problems by creating computer-based activities using a variety of coding, gaming, robotic, and creative publishing applications. Students can work individually, collaboratively with their local classmates, or collectively with their global classmates. The goal is for students to find solutions to real world problems using computational thinking and coding (computer programming).
