Students learned programming basics through Khan Academy, a free web-based educational tool. With the help of Roosevelt School District instructors, students learned how to program in JavaScript, HTML, CSS and SQL to create digital drawings, webpages and databases.
Reports show fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago, and this program teaches students learn key skills to help them excel in the future.
