Tulsa Elementary Students Learn To Write Computer Code

Tulsa students are preparing for the careers of tomorrow, starting while they're still in elementary school. 

Mitchell Elementary School was the only school in Oklahoma to get a $10,000 award to help students learn computer programming.

They'll have technology at their fingertips thanks to Code.org, a non-profit campaign to get computer science in classrooms across the country.

Hundreds of students at Mitchell Elementary have already started learning how to write computer code, and with the $10,000 grant, the school will buy 30 new computer to continue their education.

"Our kids got really excited about it, and it's always good to see them excited - and we need the new technology," said teacher Katy Blair.

The school plans to buys three robots as well, that will be used to teach computer programming.
