I wish. Thanks for the reminder though. I will definitely raise it with our school and see what the feeling is.

OP here. Yes, I was a little worried about that. My son goes to a very small school, and there's nothing like this in the curriculum. There is a basic coding "club" after school one day a week, but that's it. I feel kids today need to learn the basics of coding, at least. Sort of like I felt my generation needed to learn to type (I'm old). But so many things are dependent on it these days.

Landon does not do the Hour of Code program but does host a monthly tech club for lower school (3rd - 5th) that is focused on computer programming.

Our elementary school is doing two sessions -- one for the upper grades and one for the lower. But we're a pedestrian public school.

Particularly elementary schools? Just heard about it this week and slightly annoyed out school is not doing it. Wondered whether others are.
