Silicon Armada wants to help your school with The Hour of Code 2015
Silicon Armada is a search engine for tech jobs. It's our mission to connect the tech community
with tech employers around the world and we want to offer our expertise to secondary schools in
Ireland during the Hour of Code 2015.
Computers are everywhere, but fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago. Good
news is, we’re on our way to change this. If you've heard about the Hour of Code before, you might
know it made history. More than 100 million students have tried an Hour of Code.
With the Hour of Code, computer science has been on homepages of Google, MSN, Yahoo! and
Disney. Over 100 partners joined together to support this movement. Last year, every Apple Store in
the world hosted an Hour of Code and even President Obama wrote his first line of code as part of
the campaign.
This year, let's make it even bigger. Silicon Armada is asking your school to join in for the Hour of
Code 2015. Please get involved with an Hour of Code event during Computer Science Education
Week, December 7-13.
Get the word out. Host an event. Try the Hour of Code yourself or Contact Silicon Armada to
book an Hour of Code in your school - everyone can benefit from learning the basics.
