We received 2 very special guests here at PS57, Glenn Higgins and Evan Mirenberg, representatives of the web-based coding instructional program Tynker! It is being used by 50,000 schools worldwide and continues to grow, giving kids their first chance to learn how to CREATE on the computer. This is a great opportunity for a headstart on the pathway to our BOOMing technology industry, and our technology teacher Mr. Filatro shows us how!
