This week schools around the world are participating in an event called The Hour of Code, where students are exposed to basic computer programming and coding. The job market for people with coding & programming skills is growing every year, and there are nowhere near enough people with the skills to fill the positions. This week, we encourage you to check out code.org on your own, ask your teacher to get involved, or drop by room 213 at lunch to try out some fun activities!
