Coding resources

Multiple K-12 Michigan teachers are transforming their community and school culture by leveraging Code.org resources. Across the state of Michigan, these teachers are committed to teach middle and high school computer science courses. Throughout all levels of the professional learning series, teachers are integrated within a community, transforming school culture, and collaborating across school districts.

Code.org® is a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to computer science in schools and increasing participation by women and underrepresented minorities. Our vision is that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science, just like biology, chemistry or algebra. Code.org provides the leading curriculum for K-12 computer science in the largest school districts in the United States and Code.org also organizes the annual Hour of Code campaign which has engaged 10% of all students in the world.

The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics. Learn more at https://HourOfCode.com, try an hour yourself, or host an Hour of Code event to introduce others to the world of computing!
