The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, using fun tutorials to show how anyone can do an hour of code. This year, we want everyone to see what they are capable of through the power of computer science, making the invisible visible.
Organizations who fully engage with Hour of Code can help raise awareness of the computer science movement and inspire more students to try computer science, particularly young women and students from historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups.
An Hour of Code can unlock a lifetime of learning! Register your Hour of Code event to receive information about new activities and special promotions!
