Virtual Hour of Code 2023
2023 Hour of Code is December 4-10
Hour of Code is a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts. Hour of Code is held in conjunction with Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), an annual call to action to inspire students to learn computer science and celebrate Computer Science heroes. 2023 Hour of Code has many activities to introduce students to AI.
