Every year in December, millions of kids around the world participate in the Hour of Code to celebrate CS Ed Week in honor of Admiral Grace Hopper who was an early computer programmer and created the first computer language compiler.
We're so excited to be participating as a partner again this year with you! The Hour of Code is a grassroots movement promoted by CS Ed Week and Code.org along with over 400 other partners to encourage kids everywhere to try one hour of coding.
Sustainability: Kodable Beach Clean Up
The Hour of Code is focused on using code for good in collaboration with the United Nations to promote seventeen sustainability goals. Kids can have a huge impact keeping our rivers and oceans clean by reducing plastic waste. This year, your students can help the fuzzFamily program their way to a cleaner beach on Fuzztopia in the Kodable Beach Clean Up programming tutorial for beginners.
Help the fuzzes clean up all the trash on their beach and make new friends along the way. Kids will learn about conditions, loops, and functions by creating a path to collect all the trash, then programming a route to pick it up.
Introduce your students to programming with the video below, then each difficulty has a lesson about the concept it covers included in the game.
