Learn More About Hour of Code

Coding|

Try an Hour of Code! In learning to code, students gain and develop 21st century skills as well as their problem-solving, sequencing, logical, and analytical thinking skills. Many of the coding activities can also be tied to other subject areas such as math or science. Code.org provides a number of different hour-long activities for different age and ability levels, as well as types of technology — from computers and tablets to no technology at all (check out their activities here). Students can do the activities individually, in pairs, groups, or even with their parents!
