    On May 16, 2016, students from P.S. duPont Middle School celebrated at the Capital One Coders Closing Event in Wilmington, Delaware.  These twenty-three students participated in a 10 week coding club through a partnership with Capital One and P.S. duPont Middle School.  These students officially became coders during the club where they learned how to program and code their own apps.
