The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science.  The Hour of Code takes place in December, during Computer Science Education Week.  Coding helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic, and creativity!  We completed our hour of code today using the site code.org.  We 💗 coding!
