Introducing Hour of Code! Watch this quick video to see some celebrities learning to code alongside students just like you!
Computer programming helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity in people of all ages. The week of December 5 -9th, 2016, all RES students in grades kindergarten through four will have a hands on introduction to computer programming with Hour of Code activities during their enrichment classes!
