It’s a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify “code” and show that anyone can learn the basics to be a maker, a creator, an innovator.

We’ll provide a variety of self-guided tutorials that anybody can do, on a browser, tablet, or smartphone. We’ll even have unplugged tutorials for classrooms without computers. No experience needed.

At your school: If you are a parent or student, ask the principal or a tech-savvy teacher for their support to allow you to host the Hour of Code. We can show you how to organize events and connect to the Hour of Code tutorials. See our school participation guide for more information.

If you are a teacher, we have resources to support your leading an Hour of Code. Our tools are simple, painless, and easy to use. Don’t have enough computers in your school? Don’t worry, we have offline or phone-based options. See our school participation guide for more information.

At your club or nonprofit: We have event ideas to share that will help you get your members excited and activated to host an Hour of Code in your community. See our community participation guide for more information.
