The Hour of Code

Join the world's largest education initiative! Expose your students to computer programming at an early age to fine tune their problem solving skills, boost their interest in a career  that will change their lives, and equip them to positively change our collective future! Watch these quick videos to get an idea of why teaching children how to read and write computer code is so important.

Why Code?

This is our opportunity to expose our students to computer programming. They will work through a highly engaging self-guided tutorial that will help them solve problems by creating lines of code. I've found that students who normally require redirection find themselves completely engulfed in the task at hand during coding activities. You may be surprised by some of your kiddos! 

All you need is 1 hour, 1 day during
Computer Science Education Week 
December 7-11 
to teach the Hour of Code. 


​Get Started!

Are you ready to prepare for your Hour of Code? Sign up here.  The links below will get your students started with self guided tutorials to start their Hour of Code. If you are comfortable leading your class in a lesson, try one of these Teacher-Led Coding Lessons. If you share a laptop cart with another teacher, plan your hour on a day the cart is assigned to you. If you need help in your building, let me know.
