What is Hour of Code
It’s a one-hour introduction to computer science education designed to demystify code and show that anyone can learn the basics — on a browser, smartphone, or “unplugged”. The online tutorials won’t require any prior experience.
Why does it matter?
Computer science is a foundational skill for all students, yet most schools don’t teach it, or make it fun and engaging. Students don’t get a chance to find their passion for coding.
How can you help?
Ask your local school to participate — share this handout (PDF) and video with local teachers
Offer your expertise to a school in your area that is already signed up. Teachers will love to have you talk about a career in tech to their students.
Participate yourself (or with your child). Set aside one hour to learn, during Dec. 9-15
Sign up to participate at hourofcode.com, and visit back on Dec 9.
