This week, across over 150 countries, millions of people and students will try out computer programming for the first time. Anyone can learn to code!
The Hour of Code is an hour-long introduction to computer programming that’s both fun and free. At Khan Academy, we have crafted several different Hour of Code lessons that require no prior experience. Try one or try them all and get new badges for each lesson in the process!
Hour of Drawing with Code: Learn to program using JavaScript, one of the world's most popular programming languages via two great options:
- Drag-and-drop: experimental block-based coding for those with less-developed typing skills and on tablet devices (ages 8+).
- Typing: keyboard-based coding (ages 10+).
Hour of Webpages: Learn to make your own webpages using the basics of HTML and CSS (ages 10+).
Hour of Databases: Learn the fundamentals of databases using SQL to create tables, insert data into them, and do basic querying (ages 12+).
We have created lessons that will show you how fun coding and building things can be. Now you’ll be part of creating technology, not just using it!
Code on!
