Please join us after school on Monday, December 8th to participate in an “Hour of Code.” Hour of Code is a grassroots, international movement that aims for tens of millions of students to try an hour of coding using Code.org tutorials during Computer Science Education Week (December 8-14, 2014).
Last year, its launch year, Hour of Code reached 180 countries and 15 million users, and this year’s campaign is expecting even greater participation. Our Hour of Code event welcomes all current and prospective MPA students and families and celebrates the logic, creativity, and problem solving skills that are reinforced with coding. With tutorials focused on Java Script, Scratch, and more, there will be lessons available for all ages and skill levels. Participants must register ahead of time; please see details and registration link below!
