Students, Staff Innovate During Hour of Code

Groton-Dunstable Regional School District joined in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code this past December 8, 2014, which took place during Computer Science Education Week.

While most schools hold a kickoff assembly or host individual activities in classrooms, the students and staff at Groton-Dunstable have decided to do something more innovative. Over 30 high school students and staff traveled to our three elementary and middle schools to assist classroom teachers and work with students in grades K-8 on activities.

After returning to the Groton-Dunstable High School, over 50 students and teachers hosted various coding activities, which students from throughout the building attended. This unique combination of students teaching students is what made our event successful in 2014.
