Hour of Code
During the week of December 8-12, LEAP students participated in the Hour of Code event happening across the world.
What it is:
Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding participation in computer science by making it available in more schools, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe computer science and computer programming should be part of the core curriculum in education, alongside other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, such as biology, physics, chemistry and algebra.

LEAP students learned how to use code to make their own games or write a computer program. They also watched videos about how important learning code is and the jobs available to them in the future.
