McMaster Computer Science Visits

Dr. Christopher Anand from McMaster's Computer Science department, along with two of his students, Curtis and Tanya, came to give our students workshops on coding using ELM and other iPad activities. The tutorials are free and online and can be found by visiting the McMaster website here. Once on the website, select MENU and then TUTORIALS to access them all.
