Hour of Code

December 12, 2024 - Pocatello, ID

Tennille had an amazing time volunteering at Tyhee Elementary for Hour of Code, a global movement introducing students to computer science.

Tennille shared, "Participating as a volunteer was an incredible experience. Watching students light up as they solved coding challenges and discovered new skills was inspiring. Events like this highlight the importance of creating opportunities for kids to explore STEM and dream big about their future."
