Hour of Code II Workshop – Learn Basics of Coding in an Hour (Women Special)

Hour of Code II​ is a coding workshop facilitated by the winner of our ​EmpowHER 2015​: Young Aspiring Women Leader, Ms. Binita Shrestha under her service impact project called “Girls in STEM” in association with Ujyalo ​Foundation and Women in STEM​.

Hour of Code​ is a Mentoring & Coding workshop program that focuses on introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics in an hour. HOUR OF CODE is 2 ­hours long training Workshop targeted to the college students of age ­group (15­-29) where they will be taught about any output based programs on different programming languages like PHP & WORDPRESS, JAVA, ANDROID, PYTHON , JAVASCRIPT etc.

The goal of the Hour of Code​ is not to teach anybody to become an expert computer scientist in one hour. One hour is only enough to learn that computer science is fun and creative, that it is accessible at all ages, for all students, regardless of background. The measure of success of this campaign is not in how much Computer Science (CS) students learn ­ the success is reflected in broad participation across gender and ethnic and socio­-economic groups, and the resulting increase in enrollment and participation we see in CS courses at all grade levels.

The training program is focused on the quick market substitute training and programming projects targeting from the basics of any languages. The training will help the students (especially women) to learn the programming base and develop the confidence to code. The more they are into it, the more they can learn and code.
