Hour of Code
December 7th-11th is Computer Science Education Week. In honor of this, the nation comes together for the historically largest educational event, the Hour of Code. Feel free to join us at Chestnut Ridge Middle School from 7-8:30 to learn how to code with your students. Students and leaders across the globe join in the event to demonstrate the importance of Coding for the future of our students. It is easy, fun and increasingly important for our students. It really is true what they say, "Anyone can learn" how to code.
