Cómo organizar una reunión o evento de la Hora del Código

The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, using fun tutorials to show that anybody can learn the basics. Your efforts can make a huge impact on the way students view computer science and their own potential.

Schools and 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.

Haz que este año sea especial realizando una actividad de programación Y aprendiendo sobre la IA.

Primero, explora cientos de actividades de programación y elige una de acuerdo a la edad, experiencia, intereses y más de tu grupo. Estas actividades selectas incluyen la inteligencia artificial como tema o lección clave.

Luego, aprende todo sobre la IA. Los estudiantes pueden ver vídeos cortos que presentan a expertos en la materia que se complementan con planes de lecciones para ampliar la actividad y guiar el debate en profundidad. O bien, ofrecemos formación profesional gratuita para que los educadores descubran el futuro de la enseñanza con y sobre la IA.

Prepare for your event

Consider where and when you want to hold your event, as well as the tech capabilities of your space. Students can work on their own devices, in pairs on one device, or together as a classroom on a projector, and there are even unplugged tutorials that can be completed with no devices at all!

Send a letter to an elected official or influential business person and invite them to speak. Check out our how-to toolkit when hosting an elected official during an Hour of Code for more info.

You may also invite the local media, such as a local news station, newspaper, or education/tech bloggers. See our press kit for help.
