Every year in December, our friends at Code.org run Hour of Code - a worldwide effort to introduce millions of students to coding. We're excited to offer multiple ways that your students can participate here on Khan Academy, all for free!
Plan your students' Hour of Code
What is the Hour of Code?
The Hour of Code is an hour-long introduction to computer programming designed to show students that everyone can learn the basics. At Khan Academy, we offer several tutorials for your students (and you!) that require no prior experience.
Hour of Drawing with Code: Students will learn to program using JavaScript, one of the world's most popular programming languages via two great options:
- Typing: keyboard-based coding (ages 10+).
- Drag-and-drop: block-based coding for students with less typing experience and students on tablet devices (ages 8+).
Hour of Webpages: Students will learn to make their own webpages using the basics of HTML and CSS (ages 10+).
Hour of Databases: Students will learn the fundamentals of databases using SQL to create tables, insert data into them, and do basic querying (ages 12+).
Want your classroom to be eligible for great prizes? If you sign up as an event organizer with Code.org, you'll receive a gift card and be entered to win $10K technology for your school, a behind-the-scenes Star Wars effects tour for your classroom, or programmable robots for your students.
Let's encourage the next generation to become the creators of technology, not just the consumers of it. Plan your Hour of Code today!
