Students began the class by completing a Coding Bootcamp to review important coding skills learned in previous computer science classes. Students have spent the past few weeks learning important skills in statistics, Python programming, coding with Pandas, and using programming to analyze large amounts of data.

Although food waste is a huge environmental problem, you are still able to help out and do your part to help prevent food waste from becoming an even bigger problem. From Ms. Turner's 9th grade science class....You can help by only buying or taking what you are going to eat. You can also organize your pantry according to the expiration date, so you know what you have to finish first so it doesn’t go to waste. If you have leftovers, finish them before you cook something new. An extra measure you can take is that you can have a composting bin in your house individually, so instead of throwing food away, you will be able to return nutrients to the soil.
