HOUR OF CODE
The Hour of Code is a nationwide initiative by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org to introduce students to one hour of computer science and computer programming.
It is part of the efforts to raise awareness about the rapidly expanding and increasingly important field of coding – the art of telling a computer how to perform complex tasks -- and as Hour of Code organizers put it, to “demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics.”
