"One amazing thing I want to share is that during the Deady session this past Tuesday, I saw that a student was already playing with inspection tool in Chrome (she learned about it somewhere), and I asked her why that is and if she knew how it worked. So we launched an impromptu discussion about how a webpage is a document that’s saved on another computer called a “server”. And then at the class suggestion we changed the Deady code club to hogwarts trololol." -Wanjun Courtesy of Wanjun Zhang. January 15th, 2019.
