TheHour of Code, oneofthe largest single-day education events in the world, gave students and teachers at Brunswick the opportunity to join millions around the globe in completing anhourofcoding activities.
Promoted by Seattle-based non-profitCode.org, theHourofCodeis a one-hourintroductory course designed to demystify computer science and show that anybody can learn the basicsof computer programming.
Code.org and other organizations created materials for participants to use during the National Computer Science Week, all simple, easy-to-follow lessons specific to grade level and student friendly.
At Brunswick, boys across all divisions spent time throughout the week trying their hand at coding, strengthening their computational skills using a varietyofprogramming exercises. They discussed introductory algorithms, cryptography, information theory, and problem solving techniques, working collaboratively to complete engaging challenges.
