介绍:
The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in about 180 countries. Anyone anywhere can organize an Hour of Code event. One-hour tutorials are available in over 45 languages. No experience is needed. Ages are from 4 to 104.
The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify “code”, to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with one-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.
The Hour of Code takes place each year during the Computer Science Education Week, but you can host an Hour of Code all year round. Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any career path.
The goal of the Hour of Code isn’t to teach anybody to become an expert computer scientist in one hour. One hour is only enough to learn that computer science is fun and creative, and that it is accessible at all ages, for all students, regardless of their background. Millions of the participating teachers and students have decided to go beyond one hour — to learn for a whole day or a whole week or longer, and many students have decided to enroll in a whole course as a result.
Besides the students, many “learners” are the educators who gain confidence after one hour that they can teach computer science even though they may not have a college degree as a computer scientist. Tens of thousands of teachers decide to pursue computer science further. They realize that computer science is something their students want. Above all, what all participants can learn in an hour is that we can do this.
