Computer Science Education Week

Computer Science Education Week  will take place next week, December 5th-11th. This is an annual event in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, who was born on December 6, 1906. Code.org is the originator of the Hour of Code, which encourages teachers and students world-wide to stop and code for an hour.  Students at FRES will be participating in the Hour of Code in their Tech and Media classes next week, and resources will be shared with classroom teachers to use in the future.

If you are interested in encouraging your child to code at home, there are many free coding resources available from code.org at this link. Additional online activities and free classes can be found through a site called Create & Learn.

Happy Birthday, Grace Hopper, and happy coding to our FRES families!
