What is the Hour of Code?

A one-hour introduction designed to demystify computer science and show that anybody can learn the basics. Last year we had a huge amount of teacher and student participation. We will offer support to get you involved. Here is some information for you to get started.

What do I have to do to participate?

1. Sign up 
2. Pick ANY date and time during the hour of code- Pick a time that works for you.
3. Decide if you want to use iPads (use an app called Lightbot)
4. Sign up for the lab or sign out iPads/MacBooks
5. This year you can also create classes for kids so they won’t lose what they are working on (Sabrina and I can show you how to do this).

Print out a special certificate!
