The Hour of Code is Here

All through this week classes will be participating in the Hour of Code initiative to celebrate Computer Science Education Week. This exciting challenge will see our students from PP to Year 7 involved in preparing computer code to make things happen on the screen. It is the largest learning event in history and we are part of it, together with millions of other students across the globe.

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. Last year, 15 million students tried computer science in one week. This year, we're joining students worldwide to reach 100 million students!

Our Hour of Code is a statement that we are ready to teach these foundational 21st century skills. To continue bringing programming activities to your students, we want to make our Hour of Code event huge. I encourage you to reach out to local media or share the news on your social media channels.

This is a chance to change the future of education in Edgewater.
