Hour of Code!

How do computers work?  Since students are unable to see the millions of lines of code that make up every program on their computer, it's easy to believe it's simply magic that makes it work.  The Hour of Code is a global movement aimed at teaching kids from 4 - 104 the basics of coding.  This year, the Hour of Code will reach tens of millions of people.  The students in Lori Keller's fourth grade classroom participated this year. According to her:

The kids had a great time on Tynker.com. They learned to add characters, voice, and animation to different scenes.  We loved the Hour of Code!

Anyone can learn to code through a variety of programs online. Visit our student  webpage and click on Hour of Code to explore some of these resources.
