To introduce our students to computer science, Holomua students participated in the Hour of Code, the largest learning campaign in history. In one hour, students learned that computer science is fun, easy, and accessible at all ages. During the week of December 6th - 13th, students wrote lines of code in Minecraft, Star Wars, and Angry Birds at code.org.
Launched in 2013, Code.org is a non-profit dedicated to expanding
access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Their vision is that every student in
every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science.
Computing is a fundamental part of daily life, commerce, and just about every occupation in our modern economy. It is essential that students are exposed to the field of computer science in school—as it is foundational in transforming the way a student thinks about the world. It not only teaches them about technology, it also teaches them how to think differently about any problem.
Please visit code.org for more information. Code.org provides many courses at every level — elementary, middle school and high school — free of charge.
