After listening to his teacher’s instructions, third grader Nikalas Brandenburg begins a coding activity online.
During the last few days of school before winter break, Antwerp Local School students of all ages participated in Hour of Code activities. Hour of Code is a worldwide movement intended to introduce students to computer science and computer programming. Both educators and business leaders are increasingly recognizing that computer science is a basic skill all students should be taught to better prepare them for future careers and opportunities. In the last few years, Antwerp Local School has focused on adding coding to its curriculum through after-school coding camps and tutoring programs, various courses for middle and high school students, and blocks of coding time in elementary classrooms.
