Locust Valley Middle School students took part in the annual “Hour of Code” computer science initiative during Computer Science Education Week on Dec. 7 and 8.
For the past four years, the middle school has taken part in the program which tasks students with completing coding puzzles with logic and creativity. Students earned a certificate from Code.org for their work.
“I hope the students leave with a deeper appreciation for what they are studying in our class and are motivated to be challenged even further,” Locust Valley Middle School math teacher Joseph Lee said. “Most of all, I want each student to enjoy the experience of working collaboratively to solve new problems which is an essential skill in our lives.”
