Today our kids had a great experience at the @Microsoft store in Southpoint Mall. Our students enjoyed gaming and using Microsoft technology to draw, make 3D images, and write stories. Thanks Angie and the Microsoft team for leading fun learning experiences for our students.

On Fridays we learn how to code! @athletesforcs @codeorg

[Turning Point CDC @TurningPointCDC]

Wow! The proof is in these data! Our kids CAN CODE! We’re happy to have all four of the elementary schools in Warren County participate in @athletesforcs! @codeorg

[@elliswyms @elliswyms]

Impact for @athletesforcs this school year so far. 427 students 11240 levels completed 80086 lines of code! Thank to @ChalisHenderson @codeorg @WarrickDunn @SekouSmithNBA @ESPNBooger @hadip for helping support our students and teachers.

@elliswyms encouraged the students to explore how they add value to others, dream big, set goals, work hard, and learn valuable skills that set them apart from others. Thanks Ms. Buchanan for opening your classroom to such a great learning experience! @WarrenRecord

Wouldn’t it be cool to chat with a Super Bowl champion during your high school computer science class? We’re sending a special thanks to @elliswyms and @athletesforcs for talking with this special group of students at Warren County High School. #accesstotech

Our students at Mariam Boyd loved virtually meeting @ESPNBooger and @elliswyms during their first week of @athletesforcs coding class with @codeorg! @WarrenRecord @NFLAlumni @Daily_Dispatch

[Athletes For Computer Science @athletesforcs]

Loved having @ESPNBooger join us for our @athletesforcs class in NC using @codeorg to teach computer science.

Today I stepped out of my comfort zone and pitched with @Microsoft about how @TurningPointCDC can partner together to #EmpowerPossibility for rural communities in NC! It was such a fun experience and encouraging to meet other leaders doing innovative work in their communities.

[Turning Point CDC @TurningPointCDC]

Our South Warren kids enjoy this coding program so much! @codeorg @Microsoft @elliswyms

[Athletes For Computer Science @athletesforcs]

Another set of students getting started on the right path for their first day! Find out how you can help today to create a bond to computer science that can lead to a promising career.
