Giving students a taste for coding
By Daniel Arens
Although many schools stress the importance of scientific and technological learning now, the ever-evolving process of these disciplines means there is no shortage of career opportunities in that direction.
Hazen High School is embracing these opportunities to begin educating kids on some of these new arenas of study. Chris Harvey teaches video production classes, while Jason Helde is developing a coding curriculum in conjunction with TEALS, a Microsoft program for high school students.
At the elementary school, Principal Trevor Sinclair acts as an adviser for LEGO League, a competition that teaches programming skills to upper elementary students as they design their LEGO robot to complete various tasks on a large board.
