The Hour of Code is a worldwide initiative that makes computer science accessible to students of all ages through engaging, self-guided tutorials and activities.

This programme addresses the critical need for 21st-century digital skills by providing teachers and community leaders with ready-made resources to introduce coding concepts. It's designed for educators, parents, and community organisers who want to inspire young people with technology skills that are increasingly essential for future careers.

The initiative involves selecting age-appropriate coding activities from hundreds of available tutorials, planning a one-hour session, and guiding participants through hands-on programming experiences. Activities range from visual programming games to robotics challenges, all designed to work with or without computers.

Your community benefits through increased digital literacy, enhanced problem-solving skills, and greater awareness of technology career opportunities. Students gain confidence with technology whilst developing logical thinking abilities that apply across subjects. As a ChangeX participant, you'll receive planning resources, promotional materials, and access to a global network of Hour of Code organisers sharing best practices and success stories.
