Dikembe Mutombo gets computer science lesson from Brooklyn students
Former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo got a lesson in computer science from some bright Brooklyn middle schoolers on Monday.
Students at M.S. 447 in Boerum Hill all participate in technology classes designed to introduce them to computer science. While it is primarily just the eighth graders who take part in coding lessons, all of the students are involved this week as part of Code.org’s Hour of Code program, which aims to demystify computer science for young children.
Mutombo visited the junior high school to get the kids excited about learning, and in turn, the students offered him some tips in computer science.
