All of the students in grades 1 - 5 participated in The Hour of Code from December 8 - 15. Each student participated in one hour of coding at school and then were given the opportunity and resources to do additional coding at home. Our goal for hours of coding for the students was 372 hours and we had an actual coding time of 739 hours. Our students far surpassed our expectations!
"The ability to code enables young people to become creators rather than consumers. Students with this creative capacity and technical literacy will hold the power in the future. They are the next generation of entrepreneurs, and, as some teenagers and younger students have shown us, they are already the entrepreneurs of today." http://www.wired.com/2014/12/future-made-by-creators-not-consumers/
