Codesmyths is Ready for Take-Off





Last week, on Wednesday, October 16th, almost seventy 4th-8th grade students came to an information session on Codesmyths.  Codesmyths is an opportunity for students in grades 4-8 to learn how to program computers and eventually make mobile apps (for the iPad and other devices).  The main focus of the course is really learning how to learn and building the habits of teaching yourself.  It was great to all see the interest in the course.  The first day of class starts today.  Congratulations to those who made it!  And to those who didn't, we're truly sorry we couldn't accept all seventy of you, but we are working on other ways for students to experience computer programming.  Keep your eyes open for new opportunities!  Keep getting better at reading, writing, and math!  You need all of them and more for programming!
