Dear Wilmington Families,
This year Wilmington Public Elementary Schools are joining
millions of students all over the world for an Hour of Code during Computer
Science Education Week, December 8-14. During a computer lab session that week,
all of our classes will participate in a one-hour (or nearly one hour) activity
where students will work on a self-guided tutorial that introduces Computer
Science in a fun way.
We are inviting families to participate in the fun! Please
join us for an Hour of Code evening event at the Shawsheen School on
Wednesday, December 10th, or the Woburn Street School on Thursday, December 11th
from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. to work together on coding activities. Each student
may invite one guest and the pair must bring a device with wireless internet
access (laptops and tablets work best). An instructor will explain the Hour of
Code and guide the group through the activity. Read more about Hour of Code at
www.code.org.
We hope you can join us!
