Given just one hour, Roshni Srikanth can show an entire class how to use computer code to make a dragon fly through a maze or make a robot dance. Roshni, a 17-year-old senior at Tesla STEM High School in Redmond, Washington, helps run Hour of Code events along with her twin sister Tarini. While the students are bringing their games and apps to life, Roshni and Tarini are also teaching them the basics of computer coding. “Students can see their dragons move and the things they’re doing,” Roshni says. “They’re able to problem solve by themselves.”
