Idaho Gov. Brad Little proclaimed Dec. 9-13 Computer Science Education Week in Idaho today before coding alongside students at Garfield Elementary School in Boise during the school's Hour of Code celebration. According to the Idaho STEM Action Center, schools and organizations are staging more than 300 Hour of Code events statewide this week among nearly 120,000 occurring worldwide in over 180 countries. Hour of Code is a global movement Code.org founded in 2013 that offers one-hour introductions to computer science and the basics of coding, which has become an important form of literacy just like reading.
