Hour of Code - What can you do in an hour?

Hour of Code is an interesting way to have people in general get excited about computer programming, and shows it in a very easy to understand manner.  The actual "hour" is very simplistic for all ages, and may only last someone 20 minutes.  At the end, however, you get a certificate saying you have completed your hour.

  1. Try Scratch for coding: this website teaches students to code by breaking down the process of html coding. My students enjoyed it!

    1. Yeah, we use Scratch in our school for the intro to Computer Science classes. I just think that hour of code, which is using the same type of programming language (I know the name of it...just can't remember it), is a nice intro into programming for the students and to get them hooked.
