Over 3000 students in primary and secondary school, as well as at the Rome Phyrtual Innovation Gym will have access to coding labs organised by Microsoft and the Fondazione Mondo Digitale in collaboration with De Agostini to contribute to the global Hour of Code Campaign, an annual initiative that teaches the basics of programming during Computer Science Education Week (December 5-11).
The "Minecraft Hour of Code Designer" labs are based on a version of the famous videogame developed by game designers at Mojang and Microsoft, in partnership with Code.org, to provide students and teachers with a unique opportunity to learn programming with a simple and familiar tool (Minecraft) that is already used and appreciated by schools around the world.
The Hour of Code begins today at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym with 13 classes from the Aldo Fabrizi Primary School in Rome that will begin to create their own version of Minecraft.
