Computer Science for Good. #CSforGood

Inspired by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the 2019 Hour of Code theme will highlight how we can all use computer science to make a positive impact on our world, from writing apps to solve a local problem, to using innovative ideas in data science to address global challenges. 
​

Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries during Computer Science Education Week December 9 - 15, 2019. Help us celebrate by hosting an hour of code this year! We’ve put together resources to help teachers, coaches, and administrators from Pre-K to high school host events in their classrooms and buildings. Visit our team’s Hour of Code resource page for everything you need to start changing the world!

Here's a short list of steps to help get your 2019 Hour of Code event going:

We invite Grant Wood AEA schools to register your event with us! We’ll send you stickers and certificates to spread the word before and celebrate after. You should also register at the Hour of Code site for a chance to win robots or circuits!
