Hour of Code International Event
- Hour of Code Official WebsiteThe Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries.
The goal of the Hour of Code is not to teach anybody to become an expert computer scientist in one hour. One hour is only enough to learn that computer science is fun and creative, that it is accessible at all ages, for all students, regardless of background. Above all, what all participants can learn in an hour is that we can do this.
