The Hour of Code is now just a few weeks away. If you haven’t heard already, we’re supporting this unprecedented movement to help 10 million students (and adults) try computer science this December (9-15). We’re asking you to join us.
Why computer science?
Technology is everywhere today. But only a tiny fraction of us are learning how to create it. The Hour of Code is a campaign to prove that anyone can start learning the basics. Code.org will provide tutorials with options for every age, every device, and even “unplugged.” While tutorials are still under construction, we invite you to check them out - featuring Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Angry Birds.

What can you do?
Ask your local school to host an Hour of Code - give your principal this handout
Host an Hour of Code in your community - in a club, church, after-school group or at home
Do it yourself (or with your family) during Dec. 9-15.
2,000,000 students and growing
Over 2 million students are already planning to participate in the Hour of Code across 144 countries! See schools participating in your area here.
This amazing milestone proves that the demand to catch up to the 21st century with relevant computer science education knows no boundaries.
Let’s open up a new world of opportunity for today’s generation of students. Join us now.
