Computer Science Education Week--Dec. 7-13

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 school is joining in on one of the largest learning events 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.

Our Hour of Code is a statement that St. Paul’s Episcopal Day School is ready to teach these foundational 21st century skills. To continue bringing programming activities to your students, we want our Hour of Code event to be just the beginning. You can encourage your students to continue their learning by trying other activities on the website https://code.org/learn.  The website also includes some great suggestions for mobile apps for phone and tablets.
