Last week, we announced the Hour of Code to the world. Now backed by Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, LinkedIn, Mark Zuckerberg, CSTA, the College Board, Boys & Girls Clubs, and over 100 other partners, we’re getting closer to 10 million students trying one
Hour of Code during Dec. 9-15. We still need your help. <br>

<b>Learn to code - from Mark Zuckerberg and Angry Birds</b><br>
Code.org will provide tutorials for any browser, tablet, phone, even unplugged. Our own tutorial will feature Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Angry Birds, and Plants vs. Zombies. We’ll share a preview for feedback in early-November.<br>
<br>
<b>Win laptops or a video chat with Bill Gates for your class</b><br>
50 schools who organize an Hour of Code for the entire school will win a class-set of laptops. 50 more will win video chats with Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, or other tech leaders. So far, we have 990 "entire school" submissions. You can see the list of schools
at <a href="http://csedweek.org/events/schools" target="_blank">http://csedweek.org/events/schools</a>. In some states, your school will be the first to sign up, making your chances of winning exceptional. The deadline is Nov. 15, so register now. More info about prizes can be found athttp://<a href="http://csedweek.org/prizes" target="_blank">csedweek.org/prizes</a>.
<br>
<br>
<b>How can you help?</b><br>
* Ask your entire school to participate - download and share this handout and video with your teacher or principal athttp://<a href="http://csedweek.org/school" target="_blank">csedweek.org/school</a><br>
* Participate yourself (or with your child). Set aside one hour during Dec. 9-15.<br>
* At work, schedule a 1-hour team event to learn together.<br>
* In your community, recruit a local group. Or host an Hour of Code "block party."<br>
* Share on your social networks why you’re hosting an Hour of Code. Ask friends to join.<br>
<b><br>
No experience needed </b><br>
We owe it to today’s students to start with one hour. CSEdWeek (Dec. 9-15) is in 7 weeks! Get started. Go to <a href="http://csedweek.org" target="_blank">csedweek.org</a>.
