What is the Hour of Code?  It is a 1-hour, self-directed, introductory activity to computer programming that kids can access online.

Do my kids need to already know how to code? No programming experience required. Your kids just need to bring their enthusiasm and creativity! 

Will my child be doing Hour of Code in the classroom? Many Peter Kirk teachers, especially in Grades 1-5, are planning to do Hour of Code in the classroom this year, but the choice is up to each individual teacher. If it's important to you to know, we recommend you reach out to your teacher to confirm their participation. Or, just have your child do it at home!

Sounds awesome, where do I start? The Peter Kirk PTSA Hour of Code web page is a good place to start.
