Think about how often you use a computer or electronic device each day. Many of the things we do throughout our day are made possible because someone, somewhere wrote a computer program. Meanwhile, many schools do not offer computer science courses. In our increasingly virtual world, there is a huge demand for computer coding skills that isn't yet being filled by our schools.
So, we are doing something about it! Kids will learn the basics of computer coding (also called programming) by participating in the Hour of Code. Our Hour of Code Celebration will be the culminating event of the week, and is open to all students and their families.
The Hour of Code is a world-wide effort to get people interested in learning computer coding. There will be almost 90,000 events like ours taking place around the world during the week of December 7-13.

"Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path." https://hourofcode.com/us
