Saint Peter Catholic School participated in the Hour of Code during Computer Science Week, December 10 - 17. The Hour of Code is a nationwide campaign held during Computer Science Week to spark students' interest in coding and careers in computer science. This is also a component of Middle School STEM/STREAM education.
Coding encourages students to think logically and be creative with technology. Studies show that in 2020 ther will be more jobs available in computer science fields than there will be students to fill these positions.
Students in first through eighth grades learned about coding with Mrs. Shari Crumpler, our computer teacher and technology facilitator. She also invited Mr. Ryan Butcher, a parent of four at SPCS and co-founder of eAudit.com, to talk with the students about coding and careers in coding.
In total, SPCS students completed 31,521 lines of code! Congratulations, and keep coding!
