What is Hour of Code?
A Code.org sponsored campaign to demystify code– Students globally participate in 1-hour introductory
experiences– Last year reached 20 million students, this year it is a
global campaign to get 100 million students of all ages
The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that
anybody can learn the basics.http://hourofcode.com/us

The topics that are touched on include…• Code as a set of instructions• Syntax (object, function, parameter, variable)• The coordinate system• Events• Conditionals• Loops
