According to Principal John Beeck the idea was to incorporate programming into all of the core subjects and then move ahead with training. Technology has its own language and the younger a language is learned the better. The problem...not everyone attends the Loess Hills Elementary school. Alexis: Anyone can open enroll, but it isn’t always easy to get to the specialty schools if you live
