Grades 4 and 5 Continue to Develop Coding Skills

Under the guidance of Morah Mazal Yusupov, students in Grades 4 and 5 are continuing to develop their coding skills. Students are using “micro:bits,” pocket-sized computers that help introduce students to software and hardware work together. Students were given “pseudo-code” and then applied the instructions to write “code” using the micro:bit software.
