2 Hour of Code What is the Hour of Code?
The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1- hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts. When is the Hour of Code? The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. The 2016 Computer Science Education Week will be December 5-11, but you can host an Hour of Code all year round. Computer Science Education Week is held annually in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906).

3 Hour of Code Why computer science?
Everyone should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, you will have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path.  Taken from "The Hour of Code Is Coming." Code.org. N.p., n.d. Web. 01 Dec
