Hour of Code is coming

Over the last three years the Hour of Code has reached more than 100 million students in over 180 countries. Last year, you helped make this the largest learning event in history, with record participation from girls and underrepresented minorities.


This year, help us reach every student with the opportunity to learn.


Sign up your classroom today and get ready to do an Hour of Code with your class! Feel free to follow our easy how-to guide. You can even do an Hour of Code without Internet or computers!

Computers are changing every industry on the planet, and coding has become relevant to a wide range ofhigh-paying jobs—even those outside the technology and engineering fields. For millions of students, theHour of Code will be an inspiring introduction to this crucial 21st century skill.
