WHAT is the HOUR OF CODE?

The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. Anyone, anywhere can organize and/or participate in an Hour of Code event. Tutorials that take about one-hour to complete are available in over 45 languages. No experience is needed to participate and people of all ages are encouraged to complete an Hour of Code.

WHO participates in the Hour of Code?

BECAUSE....

Haledon Public School is listed as one of over 100,000 events taking place in celebration of Computer Science in Education Week around the world!

WHY do students get to participate in the HOUR OF CODE? WHAT will I learn?

The HOUR OF CODE puzzles and creative activities are designed to teach students computational thinking and the basics of computer programming. Students will need to solve each puzzle, using problem solving skills, by programming visual code blocks (or a different programming language if you choose) to achieve a goal.
