Don't Forget!

We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. But only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and less students are studying it than a decade ago.

That’s why our entire school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 7-13). More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code.

See http://hourofcode.com/in for details, and help spread the word.

Hour of Code

Next week is Computer Science Education Week and we will be participating in Hour of Code. 

To read more about it watch this video and go to the free website. The students are already working with code and are very excited to be participating in this event. They can also be doing code at home!

Just go to Code.org to try it out!
