100M HOURS OF CODE

  • 0:00 - 0:06
    Okay, now you're gonna to press run. Next
    week millions of students across the country
  • 0:06 - 0:11
    will try their hand at an hour of computer
    programming. The WHOLE school will be doing
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    an Hour of Code!
  • 0:16 - 0:21
    Take an hour to learn more
    about the technology that touches every part
  • 0:21 - 0:28
    of our lives. Computer science can unlock
    the best opportunities in the world, no matter
  • 0:29 - 0:35
    where you are. If you can change technology,
    you can change the world. We've seen tens
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    of millions of kids learn how to code. I'm
    so excited that all of you are participating
  • 0:39 - 0:45
    in the Hour of Code. On it's face, it looks
    like it's this daunting, scary thing that
  • 0:45 - 0:50
    you don't know how to do. But it can be learned.
    The Hour of Code isn't just about one hour
  • 0:50 - 0:55
    of one week, organizers are hoping it has
    a more lasting effect by motivating schools
  • 0:55 - 1:00
    to change what they teach in computer classes.
    So your traditional computer class that teaches
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    you just how to use technology is increasingly
    irrelevant. Computer programming, computer
  • 1:04 - 1:09
    science, and how to create technology, that's
    what we need to be teaching our kids.
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    In 2014 alone, 60 million students tried the Hour of Code
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    1 in 3 U.S. students have tried the Hour of Code
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    Over 1 million girls and over
    1 million African American and Hispanic students enrolled in Code Studio courses
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    Your generous
    support helped make the Hour of Code possible
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    Thank you for supporting Code.org!
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    Oh this is awesome!
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    Thank you to all our donors
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    Anyone can learn
