Apple hosting Hour of Code workshops for Computer Science Education Week
Next week, Apple is hosting workshops and other special events at local retail Apple Stores to celebrate Computer Science Education Week. The highlight of the initiative is the Hour of Code workshop, which is a free one-hour lesson introducing computer programing.
"We are proud to be part of making computer science accessible to students of all ages around the world," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. "Education is part of Apple's DNA and we believe this is a great way to inspire kids to discover technology."
Apple also is hosting special events at select flagship stores that include visits from prominent iOS developers. On December 8th, the developers of the FitPort app will host an event in Tokyo's Ginza Apple Store, while the chief creative officer for The Elements app will be at Chicago's North Michigan Avenue Apple Store.
Interested participants can register online for the free workshops on Apple's website.
