In a year full of unexpected events, one thing is for certain - it is more important than ever to learn computer science and technologies like AI to help build the society we want to live in. I hope you’ll join us for the Hour of Code this year during Computer Science Education Week, December 7-11th to continue the conversation with your students on #CSforGood.
Classrooms look vastly different than they did a year ago, and Code.org has a unique surprise planned to help you take care of your students for this year’s Hour of Code. So stay tuned and make sure you sign-up to be the first to hear more details soon.
Code has refreshed many How-To Guides, including a new one for hosting in virtual settings. They’ve also updated our guides for volunteers, companies, and even parents to engage. As in years past, a number of Hour of Code Unplugged activities are also available to allow students with limited internet access to participate and feel included.
Got a daily routine? Then you’re already familiar with loops! For humans, repeated actions can be very useful—but also kind of boring. Luckily, computers don't mind repeating themselves over and over (and over) again!
Problems can be complex—but they don't have to be overwhelming! One approach to problem-solving is computational thinking.
Kids everywhere learn about coding in classrooms today—but just a select few experts could understand it in Grace Hopper's day!
