R-Tech advisor Mr. Jara reports that our school’s Hour of Code event was amazing, with a total of 22 presentations to about 400 students in 22 classes. R-Tech hosted coding tutorials and invited people in the field with experience to introduce students into coding and motivate them. Between December 3 and 9, ten percent of students all around the world celebrated Computer Science Education Week by doing “an hour of code” at their school.  According to Mr. Jara, computer science is a fantastic way for students to learn and understand how the technology around us operates. More than 100 million students around the world have tried an hour of code.
