The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts. Check out the tutorials and activities. This grassroots campaign is supported by over 400 partners and 200,000 educators worldwide.

The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. The 2019 Computer Science Education Week will be 12월 9일-15일, but you can host an Hour of Code all year-round. Computer Science Education Week is held annually in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906).

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. See more stats here.

Start planning here by reviewing our how-to guide. You can organize an Hour of Code event at your school or in your community — like in an extracurricular club, non-profit or at work. Or, just try it yourself when 12월 9일 arrives.

The Hour of Code is driven by the Hour of Code and Computer Science Education Week Advisory and Review Committees as well as an unprecedented coalition of partners that have come together to support the Hour of Code — including Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Boys and Girls Clubs of America and the College Board.

Of course. Hour of Code activities are self-guided. All you have to do is try our current tutorials, pick the tutorial you want, and pick an hour — we take care of the rest. We also have options for every age and experience-level, from kindergarten and up. Start planning your event by reading our how to guide.

Code.org tutorials work on all devices and browsers. You can see more information about Code.org's tutorial tech needs here. Tech needs for non-Code.org tutorials can be found on code.org/learn in the tutorial specific description. Don't forget we also offer unplugged activities if your school can't accommodate the tutorials!

No. 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.Here are a few options:Work in pairs. Research shows students learn best with pair programming, sharing a computer and working together. Encourage your students to double up. Use a projected screen. If you have a projector and screen for a Web-connected computer, your entire group can do an Hour of Code together. Watch video portions together and take turns solving puzzles or answering questions. Go unplugged. We offer tutorials that require no computer at all.

Anyone can organize an Hour of Code event, anywhere in the world. Last year, students worldwide joined together for the Hour of Code. Find out more here.

If you're interested in becoming a tutorial partner, see our guidelines and instructions. We'd like to host a variety of engaging options, but the primary goal is to optimize the experience for students and teachers who are new to computer science.

No. Absolutely no signup or login is required for students to try the Hour of Code. Most of the follow-on courses require account creation to save student progress. Also, signing up for the Hour of Code does NOT automatically create a Code Studio account. If you do want to create accounts for your students, please follow these instructions.

Go to our certificates page where you can print certificates for your entire class ahead of time. You can also print out special certificates for students doing the Minecraft tutorial.

Our Star Wars and Minecraft tutorials are great for high schoolers, especially the Star Wars JavaScript version and the free play level on both tutorials. Alternately, we recommend trying one of the beginner tutorials on code.org/learn to start, such as the tutorial with Angry Birds or with Anna and Elsa. A high school student should be able to finish one of these in 30 minutes and can then try a more advanced tutorial in JavaScript, such as Khan Academy or CodeHS.

The Hour of Code tracker isn't an exact measurement of usage. We do not count unique student IDs perfectly when tracking participation in the Hour of Code, especially because we don't require students to log in or register. As a result, we both over-count and under-count participants at the same time. Read all the details here.

We're so sorry you aren't seeing your event on the Hour of Code map. Because of the tens of thousands of organizers who sign up, the map aggregates the data and displays one point for several events. If you click the events page link below the map you will be directed to a list of all events by state and can find your event listed there. Additionally, given the thousands of people signing up for the Hour of Code, the map and event list usually takes 48 hours to update. Check back in a few days!

Hour of Code 의 목표는 모든 사람들을 1시간 이내에 컴퓨터과학 전문가로 만드는 것이 아닙니다. 1시간은 컴퓨터과학에 대해서 재미있게 창의적으로 배울 수 있는 충분한 시간이며, 어떤 사전 지식이나 학습이 없더라도 모든 연령대의 사람들과 학생들에게도 가능합니다. 이 캠페인의 성공 정도는 얼마나 많은 학생들이 컴퓨터과학(정보과학) 에 대해서 배우냐하는 것이 아닙니다. - 성별, 민족, 사회경제적 계층과 관계 없이 다양하고 많은 사람들이 참여하는 것이 중요한 것이고, 그 결과로 모든 학년의 학생들이 수업을 신청하고 참여하는 것이 많아 질 수 있도록 하는 것입니다. 행사에 참여하는 수 백 만의 학생들과 선생님들은 1시간 과정을 넘어 그 이후의 과정에도 계속 참여하고 배워오고 있습니다. - 하루 짜리 과정이나, 1주일 이상의 과정에도 참여하면서 그 이후에도 많은 학생들은 정규 수업이나 코스(또는 대학 전공 과정) 에도 참여하고 있습니다.

1시간 과정의 참여 이후에 만족감을 얻은 사람들은 학생들 뿐만 아니라 그 외의 "학습자"들도, 심지어 컴퓨터과학 분야에 대한 대학 학위가 없더라도 컴퓨터과학에 대해서 가르칠 수 있습니다. 수 만 명의 선생님들은 앞으로 컴퓨터과학에 대해서 더 공부하고, 자료 제작에 참여하고, 이후의 고급 과정들을 만들어 제공하고 싶어하게 되었습니다. 이러한 변화와 노력들은 학교의 교장/교감/교육청에도 영향을 주게 되었으며, 학생들이 배우기를 원하고 선생님들도 충분히 가르칠 수 있다는 것을 깨닫게 해주고 있습니다.

무엇보다도, 1시간 과정에 참여하는 모든 사람들이 배우는 것은 바로, 우리 모두가 할 수 있다는 것입니다.

Anyone can host an Hour of Code at any time. The tutorials stay up year-round. You can expect all our tutorials and curriculum to be available on our site in perpetuity. Please go to our resources for event how-to guides and other resources to help make your Hour of Code event a success.
