During the "hour" student learned computer programming skills along with tens of millions of students around the world in more than 180 countries.
Using online resources provided by Hour of Code, Tarrytown's students coded online games and moved their characters through mazes and puzzles while learning how to code.
The district's technology specialist, Jean O'Brien, provided quick and fun tutorials for students built around fun games like "Star Wars", "Minecraft", Disney's "Frozen", and "Angry Birds".
The Hour of Code is organized by Code.org, a public non-profit dedicated to expanding participation in computer science by making it available in more schools, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color.
An unprecedented coalition of partners have come together to support the Hour of Code, — including Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Boys and Girls Clubs of America and the College Board.
