Computer
science opens more doors for students than any other discipline in today’s
world. Learning even the basics will help students in virtually any career—from
architecture to zoology. All top IT Company’s are passionate about technology
and committed to help students to learn and love coding. Dec 5-11th week is a week where
Accenture offer our support for Hour of Code events. Hour of Code is a
grassroots movement to empower every student in every school worldwide to learn
to code. Through this volunteer-based program, students from around the world
have learned an Hour of Code, a free,
one-hour introductory course designed to demystify computer science and show
that anybody can learn the basics. #hourofCode

newspapers.. Some of them are below
