Coding in the STEM Room

Thanks to Mrs. Keller, our STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) teacher for inviting us in for a mini lesson on Coding/Computer Programming.  This week code.org is promoting coding with Hour of Code click here for more info.
Why do students who begin programming early become so successful? Students who learn to program early in life gain a deeper and more complete understanding of the logic and advanced thinking behind programming. Like learning a language early in life, learning and practicing this type of thinking early in development actually influences a child’s brain as it is still developing. This is why early learners have experienced such boundless success in this field (think Gates, Zuckerberg, Jobs,…the list goes on and on). -CodeRev.com
