Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science - IndieGoGo

With the Hour of Code campaign, we hope to introduce 100 million students worldwide to one hour of computer science. Beyond that, we’ll help millions continue learning - either online, or in schools where we’ll establish permanent courses and train teachers. 90% of schools still don't teach computer science. In the 21st century. Our schools teach kids how to dissect a frog and how weather works. Today, it's equally fundamental to learn to "dissect an app," or how the Internet works. Every young person deserves basic knowledge of how the world works around them and how to build technology that’s changing the world. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/an-hour-of-code-for-every-student/
