As part of an effort to demystify code and show that all students can learn basic skills that will push them to new bounds, Anythink is partnering with Code.org to bring Hour of Code to students in Adams County. Part of Computer Science Education Week, Hour of Code is an opportunity for students of all ages to participate in coding tutorials that explore the world of computer science. These hour-long sessions cover everything from gaming to art, and encourage kids of all abilities to discover their tech skills.

"The Hour of Code is a fantastic collaboration between the public sector and private business to promote computer science education," says Anythink IT Director Matt Hamilton. "This opportunity creates a learning environment that is both accessible and engaging for students to explore computational thinking."

Hour of Code tutorials incorporate a wide variety of interests, all designed to make computer science an enjoyable and interactive experience. Students can build their own game using Tynker or create art with JavaScript. Some tutorials may feature guest videos featuring Computer Science Education Week supporters like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Black Eyed Peas founder will.i.am and NBA star Chris Bosh as they discuss the importance of programming.

Hour of Code: Monday, Dec.9-Saturday, Dec. 14
