Have Your Kids Participate in Demystifying Hour of Code by Khan Academy


,
We're excited to offer several ways that you and your child can participate in Hour of Code next week! The Hour of Code movement demystifies coding by introducing kids to the basics through fun, quick lessons. This movement is run by our friends at Code.org; it starts next Monday, Dec 5th, and runs through Sunday, Dec 11th.
At Khan Academy, we offer several tutorials for your child that require no prior coding experience:
  • Drawing with code: Learn to program using JavaScript, one of the world's most popular programming languages (ages 8+).
  • Creating webpages: Learn to make your own webpages using the basics of HTML and CSS (ages 10+).
  • Creating SQL databases: Learn the fundamentals of databases using SQL to create data tables and query the data (ages 12+).
Also, we invite you and your child to join our Facebook Live chat with our professional coders on Tuesday, Dec 6th at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT. Our coders will talk about their career paths and what they do at Khan Academy, and will answer questions live.
Let’s join Microsoft, Google, Apple, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Malala, and millions of others around the world to make history. Plan your Hour of Code today!
Onward,

P.S. We think it's awesome when parents and kids can find the time to go through the tutorials together. Plan your Hour of Code on Khan Academy!
