How?
Teachers across Superior-Greenstone District School Board signed up and registered their school on the Hour of Code map and picked a day to celebrate the Hour of Code. Even reluctant students were engaged in the activities and quickly became immersed in coding challenges. Many students asked for more coding challenges to practice at home!
