Inviting an elected official to your Hour of Code event will show your representative the impact and need for computer science education, and your students will be inspired by a role model in government.
In order to run a successful Hour of Code event while engaging elected officials, complete these tasks prior to the elected official attending your school. The task includes coordination with their point of contact, media invitations, waivers, and planning your agenda.
Determine the point person for both your event and the elected official.
Before Hour of Code
Coordinate both the point person from your event (e.g., school administrator) and for the elected official attending (e.g., staffer or scheduler). Ensure both parties have each other's contact information for the day of the event.
Work with the parties organizing your Hour of Code event to register and put your event on the map. You'll receive early access to information about new activities and special promotions!
You can also view the Hour of Code map to see your event, and know that your dedication is part of a worldwide movement.
Register your eventThis year, the Hour of Code theme is Creativity with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Whether it’s coding new apps and algorithms, generating unique art, or crafting choreography to get us dancing, AI is opening up fresh opportunities for digital expression that expand our understanding of creativity. Make this year special by completing a coding activity AND learning about AI.
First, explore hundreds of coding activities and choose one based on your group's age, experience, interests and more. These select activities feature artificial intelligence as a key topic or lesson.
Then, learn all about AI. Students can watch short videos featuring experts in the field, and there are accompanying lesson plans to extend the activity and guide further discussion. Or, we offer free professional learning for educators to unlock the future of teaching with and about AI.
Create a specific agenda for the day and make sure all parties participating (teachers, students, administrators, elected officials and their staff) are aware of what is happening and when. Things to consider:
Here's a sample agenda to get you started:
Know who will be responsible for coordinating media invitations. It could be the school, the district, the official's office, or any combination.
Secure media waivers for all students, per your state/district/school policy.
Send the public agenda to the official 72 hours prior to the event. Include event dress code, who will greet them, which classroom or event they will attend with teacher's name, and agenda for the event.
Review the agenda and test all technology the day before and day of the event to ensure the event runs smoothly.
To ensure the elected officials feel welcome and engaged, greet the elected official at the door of the event to show them where to go and answer any questions they may have. It is always great to have a student help greet them!
Day of Hour of Code
Take pictures during the event to commemorate the visit and to post on your organization's social media networks. (Publicity or privacy policies may apply).
Make sure the agenda is running smoothly and that it remains on track to end on time. The official may have other visits or meetings scheduled following your event.

Sains komputer tidak perlu berakhir dengan Hour of Code! Walaupun 90% ibu bapa mahu anak mereka belajar sains komputer, kebanyakan sekolah masih tidak mengajarnya dan ratusan ribu pekerjaan tidak diisi. Ketahui cara membawa sains komputer ke lebih banyak sekolah di kawasan anda dan dukung agar sains komputer menjadi keperluan pengijazahan.
After Hour of Code
Become an advocateHour of Code dimulakan sebagai pengenalan satu jam kepada sains komputer, yang direka bentuk bertujuan memudahkan "kod", untuk menunjukkan bahawa sesiapa sahaja boleh mempelajari asasnya dan meluaskan penyertaan di dalam bidang sains komputer. Sejak dari itu, ia telah menjadi usaha seluruh dunia untuk meraikan sains komputer, bermula dengan aktiviti pengekodan selama 1 jam tetapi berkembang kepada semua jenis usaha komuniti. Lihat tutorials and activities. Kempen akar umbi ini disokong oleh lebih daripada 400 partners dan 200,000 pendidik di seluruh dunia.
Setiap pelajar perlu diberikan peluang untuk mempelajari sains komputer. Ini boleh membantu memupuk kemahiran, logik dan kreativiti penyelesaian masalah. Apabila bermula awal, pelajar akan memperoleh asas untuk kejayaan di dalam mana-mana laluan kerjaya pada abad ke-21. Sila lihat lebih banyak statistik here.
Start planning here dengan mengkaji panduan cara yang disediakan. Anda boleh menganjurkan acara Hour of Code di sekolah anda atau di dalam komuniti anda — seperti di dalam kelab kurikulum tambahan, pertubuhan bukan berasaskan keuntungan atau di tempat kerja. Atau, anda boleh cuba sendiri apabila tiba %{campaign_date}.
