The program is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics.” The Hour of Code supports Newton’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) initiatives, encourages critical thinking, problem solving and perseverance.
During the weeks of Dec 8-14 and Dec 15-19 every class will participate in the program with our IT and library specialists Jen Roy and Heather Leoleis. You can find more information on the Hour of Code website http://hourofcode.com/us and on this introductory video:
