Carolina Coding Initiative

Carolina Coding Initiative will be hosting a public launch of the series Dec. 9 at NCCAT in Cullowhee that is also sponsored by Southwestern Community College and Western Carolina University. The events will help Code.org’s goal of getting 10 million students of all ages to try programming for the first time this year. The initiative only seeks one hour of commitment from the learners over a one-week period. The classes are basic coding for beginners.

As part of the international initiative “Hour of Code” sponsored by Code.org, the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT), in partnership with Western Carolina University, Southwestern Community College, and the public schools of Jackson County in western N.C., hosted a series of events to promote literacy in coding.
