Computer Science Education Week | Dec 9-15 | Learn to Code

[Sushant]

Dear All,

Computer Science Education Week is observed each year, in recognition of the birthday of

computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper(December 9, 1906). She developed the first compiler for a programming language.

As a part of encouraging more people to learn computer programming code.org is organizing an Hour of Code from Dec 9-15.

What is Hour of Code? 

It's a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code" and show that anyone 

can learn the basics to be a maker, a creator, an innovator.

Starting from 9th December video lectures will be uploaded on csedweek.org/learn to teach various programming paradigms.

The lectures will cover Python, Javascript and basics of app development. 

If you're new to programming this can be a good start to learn the basics.

Ideally you should see an hour of a lecture each day, but all the videos will be uploaded initially, so you can as well move further if it interests you enough. :)

If enough people are present in the institute who are interested to learn via these tutorials, we can organize a meetup wherein people can 

watch the videos together and we can have doubt solving sessions each day.

Note: The tutorials target ages as low as 6 years, so if you know someone who has age>=6 years encourage them to learn computer science. :)

Regards,

Sushant Hiray
