Additional notes/comments:
Our signature program, BCAUSEICANCODE, uses the SCRATCH programming language to allow elementary school children the opportunity to learn to code. We are currently testing a coding class in Python with junior high and high school students. A major component of our program is mentoring the children to support positive behaviors in a learning environment and community settings.
