AIM Institute teamed with Woodrow Wilson Middle School in Council Bluffs, Iowa to host an Hour of Code event Tuesday, Dec. 17 at the school for close to 900 students. Computer coding-related activities sparking creativity and problem-solving skills taught at the event will help introduce students to a rewarding tech career.
Hour of Code is the largest educational global movement introducing tens of millions of students worldwide to coding opportunities with AI and non-AI components. This event inspires kids to learn more, break stereotypes and leaves them feeling empowered towards tech. This year, the free Hour of Code platform is offering hundreds of one-hour coding activities for students featuring pop culture topics such as Minecraft.
This Hour of Code event is the result of a collaboration between the Council Bluffs Community School District and AIM Institute. Both organizations are committed to building a strong and diverse tech community through education and career development. Events like Hour of Code are among the youths’ first step into opening the door to the possibilities of their potential in tech.
Thanks to AIM’s partnership with Council Bluffs Community School District, the national Hour of Code program at Woodrow Wilson Middle School was a great success!
