Hour of Code
Challenge yourself during the Hour of Code!
The Hour of Code is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org.
It reaches tens of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to computer science and computer programming.
Every year we make courses freely available to the public so that they can challenge themselves to create amazing programs, games and, solve puzzles whilst learning about emerging technologies. We love being a part of Code.org's initiative!
