Students Exercising Creativity with Computers
The Hour of Code is a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science. By participating in the Hour of Code, students exercised Portrait of a Graduate attributes, like critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration, as they played a variety of games on Code.org. Accenture professionals volunteered to teach lessons, and facilitate students' interaction with coding games. The students' smiles and laughter throughout the week illustrate that, in addition to equipping children with 21st century skills, coding is fun!
