全球科技巨头联手推动编程教育：Code.org获谷歌微软强力支持
编程教育新时代来临
Code.org是一家致力于将计算机科学引入全球学校的非营利组织。据TNW报道，该组织正在Indiegogo平台发起名为"Hour of Code"的众筹项目，目标筹集500万美元，让全球1亿学生学习编程基础知识。
项目时间节点与特殊意义
众筹截止日期定在12月14日，恰逢"计算机科学教育周"的最后一天。这个时间选择具有特殊的教育意义。"一小时编程"课程是Code.org的旗舰项目，通过精心设计的课程体系，让学生在一小时内掌握基础编程概念。
全球教育现状与项目愿景
Code.org的调研数据显示，全球90%的学校尚未开设编程课程。该项目面向全球开放，不设特定年级限制，适合所有年龄段和学习阶段的孩子参与。同时，该项目特别关注编程教育中的性别平等问题，致力于缩小编程领域的性别差距。
科技巨头鼎力支持
谷歌、微软、Salesforce等29家全球知名科技企业联合支持该项目，使其成为Indiegogo平台史上规模最大的捐赠型众筹项目。资金将重点用于以下领域：
- 让1亿学生接触"一小时编程"课程：100万美元
- 培训1万名小学编程教师：150万美元
- 培训500名初中编程教师：150万美元
- 培训200名高中编程教师：100万美元
名人背书与项目前景
微软创始人比尔·盖茨和LinkedIn联合创始人Reid Hoffman已承诺捐款250万美元。随着更多科技公司高管和行业领袖的加入，这个项目有望取得突破性进展，为全球编程教育带来革命性变化。
Global Coding Education Initiative
Code.org, a non-profit organization committed to bringing computer science education to schools worldwide, has launched the "Hour of Code" crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. The ambitious project aims to raise $5 million to teach coding fundamentals to 100 million students globally.
Strategic Timing and Impact
The campaign concludes on December 14th, strategically aligned with the end of "Computer Science Education Week". The "Hour of Code" program, Code.org's signature initiative, offers a carefully designed curriculum that introduces coding basics in just 60 minutes.
Addressing Global Education Gaps
Research by Code.org reveals that 90% of schools worldwide lack programming courses. This inclusive project has no grade restrictions, making it accessible to students of all ages and learning levels. A key focus is promoting gender equality in tech education.
Unprecedented Corporate Backing
With support from 29 tech giants including Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce, this represents Indiegogo's largest donation-based campaign. Funding allocations include:
- Introducing 100M students to coding: $1M
- Training 10,000 elementary teachers: $1.5M
- Training 500 middle school teachers: $1.5M
- Training 200 high school teachers: $1M
High-Profile Support and Future Outlook
Bill Gates and Reid Hoffman have pledged $2.5 million, with growing support from tech executives ensuring the project's potential to transform global coding education.
