On Friday, all of Oñate’s 1,700 students participated in Hour of Code, one of the largest educational events in history. The project, which exposes students to programming — or coding — with easy-to-understand games and video messages from celebrities, has reached more than 130 million students to date. It has been touted by Google, Microsoft, Apple, President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Shakira, Ashton Kutcher, and has received support from more than 500 corporations.
Also noticed Onate has a new 100K “Mac Lab”. Perhaps in the future the entire “school” will be what is now called a “lab” with ubiquitous access to ed tech tools.
