Congratulations to the 94 students who completed an entire code.org course during the 2017-18 school year! And 18 of those students completing more than one course. Deep Run students also wrote over 336,748 lines of code. What an amazing accomplishment! Thanks to support from kind citizen's via Donors Choose, these students were entered in a raffle for many STEM related prizes including Raspberry Pi computers, solar robotic kits and Ozobots
Students participated in many coding initiatives like grade level coding activities, Tech-In recess and before and after school programs including Girls Who Code. Students explored programming languages like html, python and javascript as well as EV3 robots, Ozobots, Microbits, Makey Makeys, and Code and Go mice.
Students are always encouraged to code at school and home! Use the links below to find free resources to help you meet your goals! If you can't access your account, email me @ lisa_wenzel@hcpss.org and I'll send your login info asap!
