Everyone Can Code! Hour of Code 2018

The Hour of Code is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to computer science and computer programming.

It's about increasing access to computer science by breaking stereotypes and opening doors. Somebody may learn programming concepts like loops, conditionals, or basic debugging through the Hour of Code. But a much more important goal is for students and teachers to learn that computer science is fun — you can start at any age, in any classroom, even if you don’t have a computer.

In December every student at Ventana Vista joined millions of others from around the world when they participated in Hour of Code. They learned valuable coding and computer science skills. They also practiced Deep Learning Proficiencies such as problem solving, creativity, innovation, and critical thinking.

Students have been given opportunities to go beyond an hour of code in some of their classrooms at school since Hour of Code ended.
