New York School for the Deaf
Student Life
students enjoy many regularly
scheduled activities throughout the
year which are an important part of
their educational experience.
Hour of Code
New York School for the Deaf students and staff
members participated in the national Hour of
Code movement for Computer Science Education
Week. This is an annual program dedicated to
showing K-12 students the importance of
computer science education. The goal was for
students and staff members to complete a total of
200 hours of coding throughout the week. At the
end of the week, students showed off their
knowledge by competing in maze competitions
on stage during a school-wide assembly.
Due to the amazing efforts of our students and
staff members, Fanwood racked up 249 hours of
coding across campus! The goal is set for next
year....300 hours!
