Welcome to Hour of Code!

To get started:

  • open up a browser, and go to code.org
  • then click orange 'Start' button.

Here are a number of coding tutorials that each take about an hour to complete. The page is organized with the easiest and most popular ones at the top, and the more challenging or application-specific ones at the bottom.

To start with your first Hour of Code, we suggest choosing one of the top two - Angry Birds or Frozen:

After your first Hour of Code

We're guessing you'll love the first tutorial so much you'll want to try another!

One the same page, we recommend the CodeCombat, Lightbot, or Khan Academy tutorials (found in the sections "Tutorials in other programming languages", "Tutorials for phones/tablets", and "Tutorials for JavaScript"). Theses tutorials have multiple levels, and can provide many hours of fun and challenge!

At the top of the page, you'll also find a tab labeled "Beyond One Hour". There you'll find even more tutorials, like how to make games and web pages, program robots, or even university-level courses. Code.org also has a curated 20 hour course similar to the Angry Birds and Frozen tutorials:
