From December 4\u201310, 2023, schools around the world will join the Hour of Code movement as part of Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek). With just one hour of coding\u2014whether during CSEdWeek<\/a> or anytime throughout the year\u2014anyone can learn the basics of coding. And this year\u2019s Hour of Code may be the biggest yet, thanks to a new AI-focused tutorial from Minecraft Education called Minecraft Hour of Code: Generation AI<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A one-hour, grassroots introduction to computer science (CS), Hour of Code uses engaging, kid-friendly tutorials<\/a> and fun activities for learners of all skill levels. The brainchild of Code.org<\/a>, this hugely popular computer science learning campaign is supported by over 400 partners and 200,000 educators worldwide. It\u2019s a dynamic movement where nearly two million students have learned how to code in over 45 languages from over 180 countries. According to an Hour of Code Impact Study<\/a>, there were significant changes noted in students’ attitudes towards\u2014and self-efficacy with\u2014computer science after engaging in just one Hour of Code activity.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
