The Hour of Code is a global event that is organised annually for the young and the restlessold. The event is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics. So far it has served over 147 million people in different places in the world. The event serves both kids with no programming experience as well as kids who know how to code. Activities have been put together to engage kids of different levels and ages. Things like this make me happy. A few months ago, I found out that, in my brother’s secondary school, they were already teaching them how to code. Coding is the new Mathematics-and-English-Language, and it’s important all kids start taking lessons from an early age. It is important for the present and will be even more important in the future. It’s only right to give kids access to resources that will ready them for the future.
