Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, using fun and interactive tutorials to show that anyone 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.
