Greetings! Asheville City Schools Foundation seeks volunteers for National Hour of Code! Volunteers can create a passion for programming in just one hour that sticks for a lifetime. Volunteers don’t need to know code or java to help, just need to know how to use a computer. See more about Hour of Code below! Computers are everywhere, but fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago. Girls and minorities are severely underrepresented. Good news is, we’re on our way to change this. In one week last year, 15 million students tried computer science! Computer science was on homepages of Google, MSN, Yahoo! and Disney. President Obama, Shakira and Ashton Kutcher all kicked off the Hour of Code with videos. Over 100 partners came together to support this movement. Now the Hour of Code movement is aiming for 100 million students. That’s why every one of the students at Asheville City Schools are joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Dec. 8-14. Im writing to invite you to volunteer, for a minimum of one hour, anytime during the day, December 8th-12th. The Hour of Code, organized by the nonprofit Code.org and over 100 others, is a statement that today’s generation of students are ready to learn critical skills for 21st century success. Please join us. To learn more about the Hour of Code, please visit code.org/educate/hoc Contact: Julia Shuster [email protected] (828) 350-6135 When: December 8th-12th, Where: Asheville City Schools I look forward to being in touch.
