Why computer science?<\/b><\/p>\n

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. <\/span><\/p>\n

Join Hour of Code! <\/b><\/p>\n

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 <\/span>Computer Science Education Week<\/span><\/a> (December 5-11), but you can host an Hour of Code all year round. <\/span><\/p>\n

How do I participate in the Hour of Code?<\/b><\/p>\n

Start planning here<\/span><\/a> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know anything about coding. Can I still host an event?<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more information, visit <\/span>https:\/\/hourofcode.com\/us#join<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
