The event will be for anyone ages 6 to 60 years old who wants to learn or refresh their coding skills with JavaScript programming language using Bitsbox. Since it's a virtual event, we have opened it nationally. We'll be using the Detroit-based EdTech startup, WhooSaid, as the teaching platform to manage the participants as they complete a 30-minute online computer programming lesson. Although only 500 participants are required to set the record, the goal is to enroll over 2000. https://youtu.be/ Thanh believes that who we are is defined by how we handle situations, bad and good. In 10 years, he hopes Michiganders will look back and feel proud that they helped break a Guinness World Records in Michigan to overcome the pandemic, promote unity and increase access and opportunities in computer science education for everyone.
