Hour of Code

This resource supports and promotes the worldwide Hour of Code event that occurs annually with the aim of improving student access and exposure to coding. This resource contains information, instructions, tutorials, and links to other resources to help students plan and prepare for the Hour of Code event. The Hour of Code occurs globally each year during Computer Science Week in early December.
