First Computer Science Schools in AZ Will Begin This Fall

Byryan July 11, 2016July 10, 2016

Marana Unified School District will offer Arizona’s first Computer Science Immersion Schools, selected by the creators of Code To The Future.

Programming and game design will be part of the teaching methods, so students will have a well-rounded understanding of how to use technology to create.
