In 2015, Google Australia is partnering to support the national rollout of Code.org’s global Hour of Code campaign. The Hour of Code is an introduction to computer science designed to show that anyone can learn the basics. The Hour of Code is self paced and requires no experience from teachers and students. All resources are provided for you online.

Whilst the official Hour of Code week is Computer Science Education Week (December 7-13) you can run an Hour of Code anytime, from now until late December. Perfect for an end of school activity or break-up event!
