Give a Hoot, Learn to Code
This week is Computer Science Education week (CSEW) and I am really exited that Computer Science is being seen for what it is, A gateway to an amazing future.
The Hour of Code is upon us and urge everybody to look at helping children and adults do their first hour.
Microsoft have been promoting the Hour of Code and the importance of Teaching Children to program, http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/news/press/2014/Canyoumakeonehourlas.aspx
(Quotes from the good and myself)
To celebrate CSEW, on Wednesday Black Marble will be running a Schools Event to help Teachers and Students understand why programming and Computer Science. This is the third year we have run the event and the success of seeing students inspired to take up Computer Science is one of the greatest rewards I have received.
We have great speakers from Microsoft, Black Marble ,Oracle and other industry specialists. There are labs to help students learn.
There are still a few places, call Black Marble if you are a school or a teacher would would like to attend, please get in touch.
Keep on Coding
