Approximately 3, 543 students Kindergarten to Grade 12 from 167 classes Board wide participated in Hour of Code activities during Computer Science Week. The Hour of Code is a global movement that Sudbury Catholic District School Board staff and students are thrilled to participate in annually.
This year, activities were held virtually and in-class. Classroom teachers registered their students to participate. They then taught a lesson on their own or joined one of the six lessons led by members of our Learning Support Services team. In addition, the Board also hosted two virtual evening sessions in which 74 additional coders helped create an online dance all while learning about coding!

The event continues to grow in popularity each year as more and more classrooms participate in computer science and coding activities!

“It’s incredible to see the level of dedication and engagement our staff and students continue to show to computer science and the Hour of Code,” said Joanne Bénard, Director of Education for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board. “The Hour of Code provides unique opportunities to introduce coding to students of all grade levels. We thank our educators and those on our Learning Support Services team who always go above and beyond to plan educational and rewarding learning opportunities throughout the school year.”
