Inspired by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Hour of Code will highlight how we can all use computer science to make a positive impact on our world, from writing apps to solve a local problem, to using innovative ideas in data science to address global challenges.
This year, we’d also love to hear about students’ ideas for using computer science for good. As your classroom does their Hour of Code, challenge them to brainstorm how computer science can help the world, and share your students’ ideas and solutions on social media along with these hashtags:
Technology can address so many of the world’s challenges. It holds the keys to sustainable energy, better healthcare, cleaner oceans, and more equal access to education and opportunity. Today’s youth will one day create technology to address the problems of the future, but only if given the chance to learn how. Every child has the creativity, passion, empathy, and curiosity — and together we can give them the opportunity. Join us in this movement, to give every student in every school the opportunity to learn computer science and to change the world.
