HourOfCode

=Hour of Code= Winchester High School participated in the Hour of Code during CS Week December 9 - 15, 2013. This page was used to introduce 115 tenth grade students to coding. For most, it was their first experience in coding.


 * What is Computer Science? **

**What's an Hour of Code?** An Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code" and show that anyone can learn the basics to be a maker, a creator, an innovator.

The goal is to introduce as many children as possible to Computer Science. Check out this really cool video with Chris Bosch (NBA's Miami Heat), Mark Zuckerberg, Will.I.Am, Bill Gates, and more.
