Celebrate CSEdWeek with an Hour of Code or an Hour of AI
In celebration of Computer Science Education Week (December 8 - 14, 2025), inspire your students with an Hour of Code or Hour of AI lesson! Hour of Code lessons are engaging, hour-long activities that introduce students to the basics of coding, while Hour of AI lessons help students learn how artificial intelligence works and how to use it effectively and ethically.
