Sheldon, Iowa — This week, December 6 through 12, is Celebrating Computer Science Education week and during the week, teachers at Sheldon’s East Elementary committed to exposing their students to computer science and coding activities during what is called “Hour of Code.”
At Wednesday’s school board meeting, superintendent Cory Myer talked to the board about the “Hour of Code.”
Myer says the Sheldon Community Schools are working to add more computer science learning into their curriculum.
He says they had one SHS student who has recently been recognized in a coding competition.
Myer says the district concentrates on computer science to help prepare Sheldon students for the types of careers that will be available when they enter the job market.
