Helping students crack computer science code

Beaver Country Day School in Chestnut Hill [Massachusetts] has launched a program this year to teach computer coding to every student, beginning with upperclassmen and eventually expanding down to sixth-graders. With leading technology companies pressing Massachusetts to make computer science classes available in every school system, Beaver Country Day is taking an unorthodox approach: Rather than teach it as a distinct course, Beaver is integrating coding into all of its subjects, experimenting with uses not only in math and science classes, but even in English and art. http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2013/09/08/andrew-headlinehere/UdGWrvoJnbn9TU59Uc544L/story.html
