Hour of Code is an initiative to get students to spend an hour of time learning to program, as part of national Computer Sciecne Education Week (December 3-9, 2018). Hopefully, after spending just one hour coding, you will want to keep going with many more hours of code.

Try a one-hour tutorial (this will be spread out over the entire week) designed for all ages in over 45 languages. Join millions of students and teachers in over 180 countries starting with an Hour of Code.

Here are your directions:

1. Select a grade range - either Grades 6-8 or Grades 9+

2. On the left-hand side, select Computers as your Classroom Technology. Then pick your topic, activity type, length, and language

3. Then choose from the tutorials that you see on the screen

REMEMBER: You will have the rest of this week to work on your tutorial and be able to share your coding work on Friday. Have fun and be CREATIVE!
