Learn to Code
Students across our district are learning the basics of coding, robotics, and other aspects of engineering. We hope that through this experience, our students will become motivated to continue learning this new language that creates the world of websites, apps, and so much more around them. Here are a list of coding sites we use that are also great for home exploration as well!
