Global Tech Giants Join Forces to Promote Coding Education
Code.org is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing computer science (CS) to schools worldwide. According to TNW, the organization is launching a crowdfunding campaign called "Hour of Code" on Indiegogo, aiming to raise $5 million to teach 100 million students globally how to code.
Project Details and Significance
The campaign deadline is December 14th, coinciding with the last day of "Computer Science Education Week". The "Hour of Code" course is Code.org's flagship program, designed to teach basic coding concepts in just one hour.
Educational Landscape and Project Goals
Code.org reports that 90% of schools worldwide don't offer programming courses. The project is open globally without grade restrictions, suitable for children of all ages and learning levels. It also aims to bridge the gender gap in coding education.
Strong Corporate Support
Google, Microsoft, Salesforce and 29 other tech companies are supporting this initiative, making it the largest donation-based crowdfunding project in Indiegogo's history. Funds will be allocated as follows:
- Introducing 100M students to "Hour of Code": $1M
