The District School Board of Niagara, in collaboration with ihub Niagara has taken on the challenge of reaching 2,000,000 minutes of coding in one week – December 4-10, 2017. The goal is in participation with Hour of Code – the global movement that aims to demystify coding and make it more accessible for K-12 students.

If every student in the DSBN spends 1 hours coding, the goal of 2,000,000 minutes is attainable.

Hour of Code started as a 1-hour, computer science introduction to show that anyone can learn the basics of coding and computer science. It has since evolved into a global movement reaching tens of millions of students across the globe.  Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Education Science Week.
