The Hour of Code started as an introduction to computer science created by Code.org. The program was designed to celebrate coding and raise awareness. It was intended to be a quick way to show that anybody can learn the basics of coding, with the goal of broadening participation in the field of computer science. Today it's become a global movement, with participation in 180 countries and 45 different languages. Millions of students participate, enjoying tutorials and activities for one hour.
The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. Which is held annually, typically in December, in recognition of the birthday (December 9, 1906) of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper. This year it will take place December 4-10, 2026.
No prior coding experience is needed for kids to participate in the Hour of Code! It’s designed to be beginner-friendly and introduces coding in a fun, easy-to-follow way, making it perfect for children who are completely new to programming.
To participate in the Hour of Code with Create & Learn, kids will need access to a computer or laptop with an internet connection - Mac, Windows, and Chromebooks are all fine. iPad can not be used for certain classes because it lacks key features.
