FYI: I will be hosting an Hour of Code event again this year during the month of December. Thank you to 6th grade math and 7th & 8th grade social studies teachers for agreeing to bring their classes down to complete coding tutorials and celebrate Computer Science Education Week with me. December is filling up quickly, so if you'd like to come down, be sure to check in soon.
