SAUK CITY — Not all that long ago, one may have heard the words “computer programming” and had an idea what it meant.
One would picture someone typing letters, numbers, and symbols onto a computer and creating a program or application.
These days, “coding” is the more popular word for it, and it’s being taught in many schools.
JEFFERSON — Students attending St. John the Baptist School in Jefferson celebrated Computer Science Education Week recently, by participating in the “Hour of Code” which introduces students to computer coding.
The program was developed by Code.org a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding participation in computer science across all grade levels.
Several partner organizations support the Hour of Code: Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the College Board, and many others.
