A new frontier in education is being opened up in Somerville, where students at the Winter Hill Community School are using games to incorporate coding into their learning.
“Learning to code is critical because it gives students the opportunity to be creative in how they learn,” said Chad Mazza, principal at the Winter Hill Community School. “They’re learning without knowing they’re learning. They’re in charge and can take ownership of their own learning.”
While this may be new to Somerville, nationally the interest in teaching younger students how to code is growing.
