Participate in the Hour of Code™

Computer Science Education Week
The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics. You don't need to know HOW to code to participate with your students; just choose a tutorial. The tutorial will guide students through the process using a game-like format.

From Hour of Code-
Computers are everywhere, but fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago. Good news is, we’re on our way to change this. If you've heard about the Hour of Code before, you might know it made history. More than 100 million students have tried an Hour of Code.
With the Hour of Code, computer science has been on homepages of Google, MSN, Yahoo! and Disney. Over 100 partners joined together to support this movement. Last year, every Apple Store in the world hosted an Hour of Code and even President Obama wrote his first line of code as part of the campaign.
This year, let's make it even bigger. I’m asking you to join in for the Hour of Code 2015. Please get involved with an Hour of Code event during Computer Science Education Week, December 7-13.
