You know those people\u2026 the ones who believe that EVERYONE in the world should learn to code. Your kids should be coding, your grandparents should be coding, coal-miners should be coding\u2026EVERYONE should be coding. We believed this because Computer Science, coding, and tech have dramatically changed so many of our lives for the better and we want everyone in the world to benefit like we have.<\/p>\n<p>In the past few years however, we&#8217;ve realized that that mission of everyone in the world learning to code is simply not going to happen with such steep requirements. Not everyone has the time, energy, or interest to invest in getting a full Computer Science degree. This does NOT mean that people can&#8217;t still benefit from what Computer Science can do for them. But we can involve more people in problem solving when there are fewer gates in the way to start.<\/p>\n<p>This year, we are commemorating Computer Science Education Week with a fun new week-long celebration that we&#8217;re calling the Hour of Low-Code. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csedweek.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Computer Science Education Week<\/a> (CSEdWeek) is an annual call to action to inspire K-12 students to learn computer science, advocate for equity in computer science education, and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners to the field. But we don&#8217;t ONLY want this to be for students&#8211;we want adults to get involved as well.<\/p>\n<p>During the week of December 7 &#8211; 13, we want to introduce the concept of &#8220;low-code development&#8221; as part of Computer Science Education Week so that ANYONE in the world can learn to build apps, chatbots, websites and automation\u2026 without having to learn to code first.<\/p>\n<p>We have created a list of curriculum and resources below that you can use to DIY your own Hour of Low-Code celebration for your home, workplace or classroom. There is something for EVERYONE in your life, whether they&#8217;re a K-12 student or an adult. Choose a project or set of projects that fits your interests.<\/p>\n<p>Link to this page:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/HourOfLowCode\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">aka.ms\/HourOfLowCode<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Students can automate the classroom with Power Automate<\/h3>\n<p>Can you think of a task that you have to do every week or every day?
