The dates for CSEd Week are good to know, but the “Hour of Code” from Code.orgis an interesting new initiative.What is Computer Science Education Week?Computer Science Education Week (CSEd Week) is the annual awareness program for computer science education. It is organized each year by the Computing in the Core coalition and Code.org. It is a call to action to raise awareness (particularly in the K-12 environment) about the importance of computer science education and its connection to careers in computing and other fields. CSEd Week is held in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906).
What is an Hour of Code?It’s a 1 hour intro to computer science and programming, to give beginners a taste and to demystify “code”. For existing CS teachers, it can be anything you want – get creative. For everybody else, we’ll provide self-guided tutorials anybody can do, with just a web-browser or smartphone, or even unplugged, no experience needed. Note: HTML does not count as an Hour of Code.
