Lordship Elementary School Launches Successful Computer Coding After School Program

This winter Lordship School offered an after school program in Computer Coding. This initiative was led by 4th grade teacher Lauren Cavalli who also recruited many other faculty to join her team to oversee the 73 students from grades 3-6 who participated in the inaugural program. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the enthusiasm that came from the students and faculty with this program” Principal Kate Murphy added. Throughout the 8-week program students learned computer coding with its implications to various high interest professions; developing technology like programs for games & apps and animation-film making. Students developed problem-solving and critical thinking skills as they persevered in solving puzzles. The basics of computer programing helps nurture creativity. “Offering this program to our students was a win-win for both them and the faculty.” Cavalli added, “I was happy to bring a program to our students that prepares them for all types of 21st Century careers while developing skill sets that can be utilized in the classroom.” The program wraps up this week.
