Dear Parents,

We live in a world surrounded by technology, and we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. Only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and fewer students are studying it than a decade ago.

That’s why our entire school joined in on the largest education event in history: The Hour of Code. During Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 4-10), every one of our students will join over 2 million worldwide spending one hour learning the basics in our computer labs.

Our Hour of Code is a statement that Charles Wright Academy is ready to teach these foundational 21st century skills. <span style="color: dimgray; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">To continue bringing programming activities to your students, we want to make our Hour of Code event huge. <span style="color: dimgray; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">We encourage you to reach out to local media, share the news on your social media channels and consider hosting additional <span style="color: dimgray; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Hour of Code events outside of school, in the community.

<span style="color: dimgray; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">This is a chance to change the future of education in Detroit.
