On a visit to a class in Sitka, Alaska, we watched second grade students gain incredible experiences in computer science skills. The teacher, Cindy Duncan, believes in teaching young children to code, so she begins the year by introducing students to Ozobots through stories. She used "The Gingerbread Man" and taught dyads of children to develop story characters. "I teach coding and robotics because as an educator it is my job to recognize that my students are global innovators, thinkers and problem solvers," she explained.
