[Itech] Fwd: Test out Hour of Code tutorials now

[Teresa Franklin]

Hello Graduates,

This is a great site for helping K-12 learn to code for all kinds of
devices including cell phones.  I thought many of you may be interested and
want to participate in the "hour of code" which will happen soon.

Best,
Dr. Frankin
