Code clubs featured in The Hamilton Spectator
The Hamilton Spectator published an article “Cracking the code in Hamilton schools” by Emma Reilly this weekend covering the code clubs starting up in Hamilton-area schools, excerpt below:
The public board has teamed up with the Industry Education Council of Hamilton to help bring computer programmers into schools to help both teachers and students learn to code. Now, there are several “Coding Clubs” across the board.
“There seems to be a big push for code almost as a new literacy,” said Jared Bennett, a 21st Century Learning Consultant at the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board.
It’s awesome to see The Hamilton Spectator covering the code clubs!
I was actually hoping to blog about my own experience with a club, but mine hasn’t started up yet (though it looks like it will soon). I’ll keep updating with what I can as these clubs continue.
