Giving back to the community is what we love to do! The CompSci way. The children were all ears as they listened intently to the reading of "Somi, the Computer Scientist: Princess Can Code" storybook. The kids were engaged and participated in answering various questions about the storyline and most especially about the Computer Science nougats they were learning. Oh how exciting it was for them all.
