The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics. Students of all ages can choose from a variety of self-guided tutorials, for kindergarten and up. Tutorials work on any modern browser, tablet, smartphone, or even with no computer at all. Code.org’s own tutorials feature Star Wars, Disney’s Frozen, Scrat from Ice Age, Angry Birds, and Plants vs. Zombies.
Bring your own device and get ready to learn how to code! Don't have a device? You can still code! Laptops will be available for those unable to bring their own device, courtesy of AIM and Interface Web School. Mentors will be on hand to help guide you through the tutorials.
Not only can you learn the basics of code, you can also learn about all the cool things you can do with computer science! Come check out our Interactive Tech Fair, featuring Glass Cannon, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics UNL Chapter Rover, Makeshift, The Children's Museum, Wearable Tech, LPS Vex Robotics, LPS Dot and Dash Robotics, and a live coding demo!
