What an Hour of Code Looks Like in 2017

By Topics | Students & Educators

When Andy Williams first sang "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," I don't think he had visions of Computer Science Education Week and millions of students completing an Hour of Code. He may not even have known that this "time of the year" includes Grace Hopper's birthday. But what a wonderful time it's become--a joyful tradition that began just a few years ago.

At SAS, Computer Science Education Week is a celebration filled with a flurry of activity. But don't take my word for it; just look at how engaging and empowering computer science can be. Don't forget to share your awesome experiences with #HourOfCode and #CSEdWeek hashtags.
