Computer Science Education Week

Back in October I posted "An Hour of Code" to this blog. Well, the week has finally arrived! Computer Science Education Week is officially December 9 to 17.

Since October, many of our tech students have been learning to code on their own for extra credit using the CodeHS (Code High School) website. This week students will also be given access to the Tynker.com website, a very fun and engaging but also eduational site that teaches students how to write computer programs.

Please take a few minutes (actually 2 minutes 44 seconds) to watch the latest video from "An Hour of Code". It's really quite amazing how many excellent and high-paying jobs there are in the area of computer programming.
