Computer Science Codes with Lower Schoolers

Upper School computer science teacher Marcus Twyford and his students visited Doherty and Lotspeich to teach the Lower School students the basics of coding. The Upper School students acted out the attempts by the Lower Schoolers to “code” a robot, played by an Upper Schooler, to make a sandwich to show the importance of writing specific, small instructions. After the demonstration, the Upper School helped the Lower School complete games and activities as part of the Hour of Code, a worldwide effect to celebrate computer science and broaden participation in the field.
