We live in a world surrounded by technology and we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly depend on understanding how technology works.
But only a fraction of us are learning how technology works. Only 51% of all high schools offer computer science.
That’s why our school has joined in on the largest learning events in history: The Hour of Code. During November and December students across the school have participated in coding activities with me that involved sequencing, branching, HTML, blocks and robotics. Our Hour of Code reflects our commitment that St Carthage’s is ready to teach these foundational 21st-century skills. Please enjoy viewing some of the students' experiences below.
