Hour of Code is organised by, a non-profit, US-based organisation “dedicated to expanding participation in computer science by making it available in more schools, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students.” The movement has many prominent corporate partners on board, including Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon. More than 180 countries and tens of millions of students have participated, learned, and created their own Hour of Code events.

There are plenty of opportunities through Hour of Code to collaborate with students from around the world and share experiences. ![]() Schools and teachers are encouraged during CSE Week to use one of the existing tutorials to hold introductory classes on programming, or come up with their own lesson plan and share it with the whole world. ![]() Hour of Code happens during Computer Science Education (CSE) Week, which last year was 7 –13 December, but schools can use the tutorials online at any time of year. Centred around the website (external link), Hour of Code is providing the tools for teachers to introduce students to the world of coding with a wealth of tutorials that can ground students in the basics of computer science and programming.
