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!
