Bush Coding Club Shines
The Bush Coding Club shines as it is featured in the Dallas Morning News. Nearly 20 students at Barbara Bush Middle School currently participate in the Afterschool Coding Clubs for School Students (ACCESS). The University of Texas at Dallas assigns computer science students each semester to lead the club.
Deyonna Davis, career and technology teacher at Bush and coding club sponsor, stated, “Everyone gets something out of this. Students who don’t have exposure to computers can be around computers while learning the basics, and those who do have that background knowledge can elevate the knowledge they already have.”
Bush Middle School student, Mikey Shands, said he hopes the skills he gained in his coding club last fall will help him become a cartoon illustrator one day. He said he wants to design cartoons on his computer.
