Computer Science
My class has participated in the national event "Hour of Code" the last four years. This will be the 6th year! Students will be introduced to block-based coding and a little bit of JavaScript, the world's most widely used coding language. Even top universities teach block-based coding (e.g., Berkeley, Harvard) when students are starting out. This skill is in high demand in the job market.
