What is the Hour of Code? Hour of Code

The Hour of Code™ is a global initiative by Computer Science Education Week (CS Ed Week) and Code.org to introduce millions of students to one hour of computer science and computer programming. In North Dakota, this gives our educators an opportunity to build on our mission of Every Student, Every School, Cyber Educated.
