'Hour of Code' teaches children about coding, computer literacy - WBNG-TV

TOWN OF DICKINSON (WBNG) -- Children from the Chenango Valley Nursery School tested out educational computer games that were coded by BOCES Computer Science Students.

The event was called "Hour of Code."

The children were able to change some of the computer coding to see how it changed the game.

As technology rapidly advances, educaors are stressing the importance of computer literacy.

"Computer literacy is just as important as reading and writing literacy in our modern world and upsetting the foundation for logic and creativity is what coding does," said Annie Cartie, a P-Tech math teacher. "So programs like 'Scratch Junior' actually created for 5-year-old audiences to start to learn to put patterns together and code."

This is the third year Hour of Code has been held at BOCES. It is part of a national movement promoting computer literacy at young ages.
