Computer Science Education Week 2021
Computer Science Education Week and the Hour of Code
The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. Code.org was started by Hadi Partovi who was born in Iran and came to the US when he was 12 years old. In the first two years that he launched "Hour of Code" around 200 million people around the world participated, including then President Barack Obama.
You might be wondering --what is coding?
Coding is like a computer’s own language. It is the process of using a programming language to get a computer to behave how you want it to, In other words, Coding is a skill where you take instructions (the steps in a task) and translate it into a language the computer understands since computers do not communicate like humans.
