On November 20th, a group of 10th graders in our AP Computer Science Principles classes had the opportunity to visit the Google offices in Kendall Square where they presented their current animation coding projects and received feedback from Google engineers. They also enjoyed a tour of the building and lunch. An additional group of 10th -12th graders will go on December 4th.
