The mission of #TynkerChat: Are we adequately preparing students for an unknown future? Can we, through community and sharing, make this unknown “known?” Let us lift up the conversation about making sure that when our students enter the workforce- they have the skills to thrive. #TynkerChat will be held every Monday, starting March 13th.

#tynkerchat A2: I didn't do anything very special. The menu choice got the Ss very excited and I had the Sec'y read the same announcement all week about importance of Coding.
drezac - Moderator Dec 3 @ 7:18 PM EST

They were great kids. Wonderful school that @PeckCPS. Can't wait to see what they accomplish in their #STEM careers! #tynkerchat

paulrayner60 Dec 3 @ 7:19 PM EST
I think that's why I believe #ComputationalThinking should be at the forefront of what we do with "coding" ...because it is a universal skill!! #tynkerchat
