Coding Students take San Francisco
JACKSON, TN - Jackson-Madison County students participating in high school coding classes were invited to attend the “Awardaganza” at the CO on April 21, 2017. This is the fourth year for this program in Jackson-Madison County Schools. The program began as a pilot program with just a handful of students and began as a Coding Club. The program has evolved into an elective class study for JMCSS high schoolers. In just four short years, the program has grown to include 700 students in 22 schools!
Each year at the conclusion of the school year, students are selected based on their achievements in the program to take a week-long trip to San Francisco, California. While there they tour facilities that include Facebook, Google and LinkedIn while they also take in the sights and sounds of the area. This trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many of our students and maybe the first time some have the opportunity to travel beyond the state. Pictured below is this year’s group winners and their instructors. Also listed below are the names and schools represented by JMCSS winners in several categories and well as trip winners.
