Anyone age ?6 to 106? can participate. ?We'll provide a variety of self-guided tutorials (http://csedweek.org/learn) that anybody can do, on a browser, tablet, or smartphone. We'll even have unplugged tutorials for [those] without computers. No experience needed.? Libraries can sponsor An Hour of Code events. Here are some ideas: ? Sponsor an event at your academic library ? Sponsor an event for homeschooling families ? Try a code tutorial with the teen advisory council or similar groups ? Try it with staff or faculty during or instead of a meeting ? Let local groups know: homeschoolers, Girl and Boy Scouts, chamber of commerce, etc. ? Offer this instead of a traditional public library ?computer 101? workshop. (Too late? Offer it after the ?official? week.) If you want to join the fun, you can participate anytime during the week of Dec. 9th. Organizers ask that you register so they can track the number of events and participants (http://csedweek.org/participate). 3-minute information video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfZrX5YDltU Participation kit for community organizers: http://csedweek.org/community Tips for those leading events: http://csedweek.org/learn (Scroll to about 2/3s down.) This is late notice, I know, but I just found out about An Hour of Code yesterday afternoon.
