Problem Solving
Kenston Middle School eighth-grade students in Mrs. Kristin Dages and Mrs. Wendy Wilks’ science classes joined over two million of their peers to participate in The Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week. Students spent an hour learning the basics that are foundational 21st century skills. It was an opportunity to inspire students to look at opportunities and careers that hinge on an understanding of computer science and solving problems.
