This document discusses how coding, STEM, and global collaboration can lead to exponential learning. It describes a program where students in Roanoke County Schools participated in various coding activities in small groups using resources like Code.org, Scratch, and robots. It then outlines a global summer program called Level Up Village that offers virtual 1:1 courses between students worldwide in areas like programming, engineering, languages, and more. The document encourages bringing coding to schools and lists local contacts for learning more.
