What is Hour of Code?
The hour of code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science to demystify "code" and to show that anybody can learn the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science starting with one-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.When is Hour of Code?
Hour of Code takes place during Computer Science Education Week. This year in 2021 it is December 6th- 12th, but you can host an hour of code all year round.
Why Computer Science?
Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. Computer science helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic, and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any 21st century path.
