<p class="MsoNormal">The Hour of Code is a massive campaign to introduce more than 10 million students to computer science by having them do an hour-long online tutorial during Computer Science Week, December 9th to the 15th. It is designed to show how any
educator can bring introductory computer science to their classroom. All ages welcome. No experience required. Computers are optional.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is a video that briefly explains the program. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfZrX5YDltU">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The hour of code project is a week-long celebration organized to introduce more people to the idea of programming. The educational value in this is that research shows that students who study programming show improved math scores. The
earlier a student starts the better. There are schools and programs world- wide that are introducing students at all ages, some as young as 6 years old, to programming. The educational buzz word is “Computational Thinking.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, they are beginning to discover that using programs like Alice are helping students with English, reading and vocabular.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Hour of Code initiative has organized self-directed tutorials and programming activities that are designed for anyone to be able to follow, regardless of experience or expertise. They are designed to be easy enough for anyone to follow,
an instructor would not have to be a tech teacher to implement this. The Hour of Code is targeting schools, businesses and families.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A computer isn’t necessary for this. The activities are designed to be completed on computers, tablets, or any other device that can access online content. Additionally, off-line activities are also provided, so that if technology or the
internet isn’t available, students could still participate.<o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Subject:</b> An Hour of Code for every student<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>Last week, we announced the Hour of Code to the world. Now backed by Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, LinkedIn, Mark Zuckerberg, the College Board, Boys & Girls Clubs,
<a href="http://postoffice.code.org/l/WCetqyexp763gdY5iJlZphEg/KgU3RmuyTlHf5GCnaldZYQ/GkI0tLT892JBmQ7RIGczSOFA">
and over 100 other partners</a>, we’re getting closer to 10 million students trying one Hour of Code during Dec. 9-15. We still need your help.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><i>Every</i> student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. Please join us at
<a href="http://postoffice.code.org/l/WCetqyexp763gdY5iJlZphEg/NNwc55VKgGLw3mRMZ6YUBg/GkI0tLT892JBmQ7RIGczSOFA">

<p><b>Learn to code - from Mark Zuckerberg and Angry Birds</b><br>
Code.org will provide tutorials for any browser, tablet, phone, even unplugged. Our own tutorial will feature Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Angry Birds, and Plants vs. Zombies. We’ll share a preview for feedback in early-November.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>1 in 4 chance of winning: laptops, or a video chat with Bill Gates<br>
</b>50 schools who organize an Hour of Code for the entire school will win a class-set of laptops. 50 more will win video chats with Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, or other tech leaders. So far, we have 818 "entire school"

submissions</a>. In some states, your school will be the first to sign up, making your chances of winning exceptional. The deadline is Nov. 15, so register now.
