#KidsCoding4ACause Empowering Ss in grades 4-8th to code for social good by designing & coding prototype smartphone apps for community nonprofits (CT,NY,NJ)
This past weekend, we got some upsetting news: Girls Who Codeโs series of books about coding were banned by a Pennsylvania school district and added to PEN America's Index of School Book Bans.
We have some thoughts to share. https://t.co/h1P5Gxtoj0
