On Friday, the WJH participated in the National One Hour of Code during their Math and Science classes. The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to show that anybody can learn the basics and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.
