In news that’ll actually give you hope for the future, a bunch of inner city Brooklyn high schoolers took a field trip this week to learn the basics of coding. Around 20 students from Achievement First University Prep High School travelled to Codeacademy’s Chelsea office on Wednesday to participate in an Hour of Code. The event was held in the spirit of Computer Science Education Week, an annual initiative to get all those stinkin’ American schoolkids off Instagram and increase their interest in computer science. Achievement First is a network of rigorous schools that aims to put underserved, urban kids on a pathway to college.
