How Schools in Tennessee are Using CodeHS

My students leave my classes knowing how to code. I have several students who have chosen aspects of computer science for their career because they loved my classes! I love the sandbox, because even those who aren’t going to be computer science standouts have the opportunity to explore areas of interest to them. They may not make it to the drawing and music portions of coding, but they can experience it in the sandbox anyway.
