Hour of Code

Hour of Code

D.J. Hartman, a Hawthorn parent, brought a BEAM Robot to class, and provided fourth-grade students at Townline Elementary with the basics on coding.

The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify “code”, to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with one-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.
