This post first appeared on the BHS Help Desk Blog 

Mrs. Tyrrell, the Help Desk Students, and I have been very busy preparing for Computer Science Education Week or Hour of Code at the High School. Mrs. Tyrrell worked very hard contacting the companies who will be coming, and Charlie Paras did an excellent job creating our flyer and logo. We’re looking forward to an exciting week of coding!
