Hour of Code Events
Computers are everywhere, but fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago. If you heard about the Hour of Code last year, you might know it made history. In the first Hour of Code, 15 million students tried computer science. Last year, that number increased to 60 million students! The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics. Learn more about Hour of Code here.
The best part is that no programming experience is necessary! These free hands-on programs are open to ages 8 and up, and families are encouraged to attend and work together. The activities will work on any tablet or laptop, and no special software is required. We encourage you to bring your own device, but there will be a limited number of library computers available if you need one. Register online, by phone, or at the Checkout Desk.
