Students District-Wide Participated in Hour of Code
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 depend on understanding how technology works. Learning even the basics will help students in nearly any career—from engineering to zoology. Just as we teach students how to dissect a frog, or how electricity works, it’s important for every student to have a chance to design an app or an algorithm, or learn how the Internet works.
