The hour of code is a global movement aimed at getting young people learning the basics of computer sciences. Hour of Code week occurs in December of every year and educators from around the world are encouraged to plan lessons around coding for kids.
Here at Teach Your Kids code we have many free hour of code activities for kids that you can incorporate into your hour of code week. Many of our activities are completely unplugged, and are aimed at getting students to ‘think like a computer’ rather than engage with a screen.
This year, we’ve created an Hour of Code curriculum, which consists of a set of worksheets aimed at teaching kids the basic concepts of coding. Our worksheets cover the concepts of: algorithms, sequence, branching, loops, variables, decomposition, and debugging. These basic concepts are fundamental to understanding computer programming.
