Mozilla Joins Hour of Code

Mozilla

For the second year in a row, Mozilla is a partner in the Hour of Code, and we hope you’ll join us.

This  campaign launched in 2013, to align with Computer Science Education Week, and to demystify code and show that anyone can learn the basics.

Last  year, 15 million students  participated in the Hour of Code. It was  supported by education and technology leaders like Amazon.com, Yahoo! and Boys & Girls Club of America, as well as celebrities and teachers from school districts across the globe.
