Linden High School students participated in An Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week in December. The Hour of Code is explicitly designed to demystify code and demonstrate that anyone can learn about the field. It is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to computer science and computer programming. Linden High Students participated in activities …working with Star Wars, Minecraft, and Frozen to learn programming basics. In Mrs. Sepulveda’s room you heard clicking and saw students dragging blue rectangular blocks into line on a blank section of the screen as they coded with confidence. The students closed the week by having Persado’s Director of Engineering for Enterprise Services, Jose Santiago Jr. speak with classes. Linden High School Computer Science teacher, Holly Sepulveda, has students participate in various coding activities, not only during CS Education Week, but also throughout the school year. Computer Science teaches problem solving skills and our students are up for the challenge.
