Big Happenings at DC!

Hour of Code
Computer science opens more doors for students than any other discipline in today’s world. Learning even the basics will help students in virtually any career—from architecture to zoology. Just as we teach students how to dissect a frog, or how electricity works, it’s important for every 21st century student to have a chance to “dissect an app,” or learn how the Internet works.

Students in 7th and 8th grade joined the global movement that is reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ counties by participating in the Hour of Code.   Students learned code by learning to program droids, and creating their own Star Wars game in a galaxy far, far, away.

Look for the rest of Deer Creek to complete their Hour of Code after the Holiday Break.

You too can  join the Hour of Code movement by checking out http://code.org or http://hourofcode.com.
