In honor of Computer Science Education Week, Hour of Code has challenged schools across the country to introduce their students to the world of coding. Here at the Tennessee STEM Innovation Network, we encourage schools and students across Tennessee to participate in the Hour of Code Challenge.

Coding provides students with foundational STEM skills, including problem solving and critical thinking, while preparing them to lead our increasingly digitized workforce. The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to the basics of coding through interactive, student friendly activities. They can be self-guided or teacher-led, and students can engage in experiences related to Minecraft, Star Wars or even Disney.

We know there is no better way for a student to demonstrate mastery than to teach what they learned to someone else. To equip our students to be lead learners, we are encouraging all students who participate in Hour of Code to share what they learned with an adult .

Rules

We are excited to see how your school engages with Hour of Code! Together, we can ensure that Computer Science is available for all students.
