Hour of Code session

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

Net result was 15+ school participated with 400 Students for an hour of code. I was accompanied by my team member Anurag Bhandari as well. Couple of photos are below
