Over 270 students from 8th-12th grade visited First Program, and together they programmed drones, robots, and built a marble-powered computer. With each Assignment, students learned computational ideas such as variables and conditions, shared problem-solving strategies, persevered when faced with unexpected bugs or challenges, and developed cross-divisional connections. 

A common theme was the enjoyment the students experienced while collaborating. Big Dalton students enjoyed tinkering and learning alongside First Programmers, while the youngest Daltonians enjoyed problem-solving and working on different solutions when they hit inevitable coding bugs.
