It ended a few weeks ago, but the positive effects of the Hour of Code are still resonating. Schools continue sending us materials documenting all the activities they conducted.
Microsoft and the Fondazione Mondo Digitale organized coding labs, in collaboration with De Agostini, to contribute to the global Hour of Code Campaign, promoted worldwide as part of the Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 5-11, 2016).
Moreover, in these very days, teachers and digital coaches are receiving the “Coding at School” e-book edited by Alberto Pian published by De Agostini (Dea Scuola, Novara 2016).
It was a highly successful initiative. This year, the Hour of Code involved schools in seven cities:
- Asti
