Computer Science, or “coding,” is nothing more than problem-based, logical thinking skills. Many people often freeze when they hear computer science or “coding.” The fact is, many of you probably already do some form of computer science in your classroom, but do not yet realize it. The foundation of computer science is step by step instructions, problem-solving, and logic.

Here are some short videos (1-2 mins) to further explain what the Hour of Code is.
