Hour Of Code
For several years, I have been organizing an annual week-long Hour of Code outreach event in Ypsilanti Community Schools to teach ~500 elementary students the basics of computer programming using fun, interactive games. Hour of Code is a global movement that has successfully introduced tens of millions of individuals world-wide to computer science.
