In fifteen years we’ll be teaching programming just like reading and writing…and wondering why we didn’t do it sooner.

Why computer science?
Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path.
Join Hour of Code!
The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science that shows how anybody can learn the basics. It takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week (December 5-11), but you can host an Hour of Code all year round.
How do I participate in the Hour of Code?
Start planning here by reviewing our how-to guide. You can organize an Hour of Code event at your school or in your community. Or, just try it yourself when Dec. 5 arrives.
I don’t know anything about coding. Can I still host an event?
Of course. Hour of Code activities are self-guided. Simply pick the tutorial you want, pick an hour, and we take care of the rest. We also have options for every age and experience-level, K-12.
We have Hour of Code tutorials that work on PCs, smartphones, tablets, and some that require no computer at all! You can join wherever you are, with whatever you have.
