Code.org 2020-21 Cohort Teachers Say :
“Teachers are often intimidated and don't see the need to add one more thing to their plate unless they are like me and know that coding is the new literacy and must provide it for students to be successful and happy in life. It is very supportive and convenient for us. Thank you for everything."- 2020 Code.org CSD cohort teacher
