#artificialintelligence

OAK HILL, W.Va. (WVVA) English, Math, and Science are all subjects you probably took in school. But now, there is another subject becoming increasingly relevant in today's schools and workforce called'coding.' Coding is the process of creating instructions for computers. For the last two years, educators have received a special grant from WVU to help with instruction on the subject. During Tuesday's class, the Kindergarten students learned to make robots move through typing in commands on their I-Pad. According to Assistant Principal Marsha Bishop, the program not only prepares children for careers in technology, but gives them valuable experience in problem solving.
