Hillsborough Academy turns coding into physical activity

Students at Hillsborough Academy of Math and Science are literally jumping into coding. Educators are trying to teach students that coding may be done sitting in front of a computer but the results can be action-packed. “It is a coding program where students actually use physical activity and coding and they combine it to do a lot of different activities,” said Critical Thinking Teacher Yvonne Kirkland. “Anything from physical education to math, to literacy, and really just have a lot of fun.” One of the devices they rely on is called Unruly Splats. It’s the latest technology combining learning to code with physical activity.
