Coding for Kids

According to this very cool website Computer Science jobs are being created 3x’s faster than students are being trained. By the year 2020 there will be 1 MILLION vacant programming jobs. This nonprofit, run by leaders in the field, provides curriculum to get kids to start practicing coding and computer science skills from a very early age.  I am excited to start trying it out with our K/1 students next week.

Check out the site at code.org and thanks to Heather for bringing it to my attention!!
