Coding in Afterschool: Get Started with the Hour of Code!

Tuesday, 03 November 2015 00:00

Kids love technology! Wouldn't it be great if they could learn to make their own animations, video games or phone apps? In this webinar, learn how to get your students started with coding during the Hour of Code, a one-hour introduction to computer science designed to demystify code and show kids of all ages that they can learn the basics. Host your Hour of Code event during Computer Science Education Week, December 7 – 13, 2015.

Guest speakers from Code.org will share new resources for afterschool programs, along with exciting news! We extend our thanks to our partner, the National AfterSchool Association, for helping us put together this webinar. The webinar will be targeted to out-of-school time practitioners with an interest in STEM learning, in afterschool and summer programs across the United States.
