3rd Annual Hour of Code at Summitt

Parents,

Please consider joining your child for an exciting technology event in the Computer Lab at Summitt.

We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. But only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and fewer students are studying it than a decade ago.

That’s why Summitt Elementary is joining, for the third year, in the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during the month of December. Last year, 100 million students tried computer science in one week. This year, we're joining students worldwide to reach 150 million students!

Check with your child’s teacher to find out when their class will be coming to the Computer Lab in Dec. All Kinder – 5^th grade students will attend this event. Pre K will have devices to use in their classroom to participate.

If you have questions, please email me, at  barbara.neill@austinisd.org or stop by the Computer Lab. 

Hope to see you there!
