Chamberlain School Receives $10,000 from Code.org

Press release: Computers are everywhere, but fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago. Good news is, we’re on our way to change this. If you have heard about the Hour of Code last

year, you might know it has made history.  In one week, 60 million students tried computer science!

That’s why EVERY one of the 230 students at Chamberlin School are joining in on the

largest education event in history: the Hour of Code, during the week of December 7­ - 13. Chamberlin was the one school chosen in Vermont, to receive $10,000 from Code.org to buy technology for their school for bringing these critical skills to its students for 2015

Google, Microsoft, Apple, President Obama, Bill Gates, Shakira and Ashton Kutcher have all backed the Hour of Code.  Over 500 partners are coming together to support this global

movement.  To date, 130 million students have tried the Hour of Code.  Half were girls.

The Hour of Code is a campaign to prove that regardless of age, race or gender, anyone

can learn how to not just consume, but build the technologies of the future.
