As of Wednesday morning, December 11, 2013, almost seven million students, teachers, and administrators had taken part in Computer Science Week’s Hour of Code. If you were too busy with Christmas activities during the week, you can still go to the site and check out the 215,563,747 (and growing by the second) lines of code written by students. Some many unique coding opportunities went on during the week—teaching a robot to play a xylophone, coding BeeBots in Kindergarten, programming with graph paper, developing games, writing songs, creating apps, and practicing with LightBot, Scratch, Python and other programing languages. The hope is that after an introduction to programing/coding, more students will take an interest in continuing on in their field.
