Last year we shared our favorite resources for participating in the #HourOfCode, which is part of Computer Science Education Week. A wealth of resources are available, so it's easier than ever for teachers and students of all ages to commit an hour of their time to coding. And here'sthe best part: it's
"Creating things with your hands, or creating code, creating programs, are just different ways to express creativity." – Elena Silenok, Founder, Clothia Having a hard time figuring out how to fit in an Hour of Code this year? Feeling left out of the fun because you are an art, music,

Computer science is at the heart of our day-to-day operation here at Curriculum Pathways. So we understand the market demand for talented coders, data analysts, web developers, and the like. That's why, during the recent Computer Science Education Week, we were happy to volunteer our time at local schools and lead
During Computer Science Education Week, the Hour of Code challenges students of all ages (and languages) to learn and participate in the basics of coding, engineering, computer science, and gaming. Social media sites are flooded with images of kids using technology, learning programming, and creating code. Twitter hashtags in English

Next week is Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), and we know many teachers and students of all ages are preparing to take part. The easiest way is to participate in the #HourOfCode--committing one hour of class time to a coding activity. We understand that leading an #HourOfCode activity might seem daunting to instructors
