Look online to find reporter contact information. If you can't find it, call the publication to ask, or email the organization's general email address and ask for your message to be directed to the correct reporter.
Hamımız şagirdlərin günümüzün texnologiya ilə dolu dünyasnda necə baş çıxartmağı öyrənməyinin vacib olduğunu bildiyimiz halda, bir çox müəllimlər informatikanın tədrisində təcrübəli deyillər və haradan başlayacaqlarını bilmirlər. This event is a chance for all of us to see what computer science is about.
We hope it’ll spark interest in students to keep learning. Research also shows that kids can pick up programming concepts before they know how to read and write. In fact, their brains are more receptive to computer languages at a young age, just like foreign languages.
Technology is transforming every industry on the planet. In 2015, 7 million openings in the U.S. were in occupations—including art and design—that value coding skills. But 60 percent of schools in the U.S. don't teach computer science. It’s time for us to catch up to the 21st-century. We know that regardless of what our students do when they grow up, whether they go into medicine, business, politics, or the arts, knowing how to build technology will give them confidence and a competitive edge.
Subject line: Local school joins mission to introduce students to computer science
Kompüterlər dünyanın hər yerində dəyişir, lakin bütün məktəblərin yarısından azı kompüter biliklərini öyrədirlər. Young women and students from marginalized racial and ethnic groups are severely underrepresented in computer science classes, and in the tech industry. Yaxşı xəbər odur ki, bunu dəyişmək üzrəyik.
With the Hour of Code, computer science has been on homepages of Google, MSN, Yahoo!, and Disney. 100-dən çox tərəfdaş bu hərəkata dəstək olmaq üçün birləşdi. Every Apple Store in the world has hosted an Hour of Code. Hətta Prezident Obama kampaniyanın bir hissəsi kimi ilk kodunu yazdı.
That’s why every one of the [X number] students at [SCHOOL NAME] are joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (December 3-9).
I'm writing to invite you to attend our kickoff assembly and to see kids start the activity on [DATE].
Qeyri-kommersiya təşkilatı olan "Code.org" və 100-dən çox digər qurum tərəfindən təşkil edilən Kod Saatı bu gün şagirdlərin 21-ci əsrdə uğur qazanmaq üçün zəruri olan bacarıqları öyrənməyə hazır olduqlarına inanan qlobal bir hərəkatdır. Please join us.

I look forward to being in touch.
Hadi Partovi, "Code.org" təsisçisi və baş icraçı direktoru söylədi: "Kod Saatı proqramlaşdırma barədə mifləri dağıtmaq, informatikanın kvant fizikası kimi qəliz bir elm olmadığını göstərmək üçün hazırlanıb - hər kəs əsasları öyrənə bilər". "Over 100 million students worldwide have tried an Hour of Code. The demand for relevant 21st-century computer science education crosses all borders and knows no boundaries."
Code.org is a 501c3 public non-profit dedicated to expanding participation in computer science and increasing participation by young women and students from other underrepresented groups. Its vision is that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer programming. After launching in 2013, Code.org organized the Hour of Code campaign – which has introduced over 100 million students to computer science to date – and partnered with 70 public school districts nationwide to expand computer science programs. Code.org is supported by philanthropic donations from corporations, foundations and generous individuals, including Microsoft, Facebook, Infosys Foundation USA, Amazon, and others.
