Hour of Code Week - December 9th
|
What is Hour of Code? The Hour of Code is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to computer science and computer programming. Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. This grassroots campaign is supported by over 400 partners and 200,000 educators worldwide. |
