Apple Announces 'Hour of Code' 2014 Campaign for Students, Offers Free Programming Workshops in December
Apple today
announced that it will once again join
Code.org's "Hour of Code" campaign, hosting a free one-hour introduction on the basics of computer programming at various Apple Stores on December 11. The company also plans to host other workshops and special events for Computer Science Education week, from December 8 to 14.
"Hour of Code" is an initiative that's sponsored by non-profit website
Code.org, which hosts a variety of tools for learning and teaching programming. Each year, the site hosts a global movement aimed at reaching millions of students through a free workshop that teaches basic programming techniques.
Computer Science Education Week is December 8-14. We're supporting Code.org by hosting workshops and other special events at your local Apple Store. Join us on December 11 for the Hour of Code, a free one-hour introduction to the basics of computer programming.
Along with the one-hour workshop being hosted at many Apple Stores around the world, Apple has also
set up special events featuring developers and engineers that will take place over the course of the week in select cities.
The Apple Store in SoHo, New York, for example, will feature the team behind Hopscotch, a visual programming language designed for young programmers, and the Apple Store on Regent Street in London will feature NaturalMotion, the team that has created games like
Clumsy Ninja.
