The sky’s the limit with computer science
Every student should have a chance to learn coding and computer science. Imagine the impact we can have if the hands kids use to navigate apps and play videos games are the ones designing them too! When young children have the opportunity to be more than just consumers of technology, they can create new technologies and solutions to change the world.
"By enabling young people to learn to code, we’re helping our next generation believe in the power of technology and wield it to improve the way the world works and lives."
— Paul Daugherty, Group Chief Executive – Technology, and Chief Technology Officer
Today’s thinkers, tinkerers and take it apart-ers
Preparing the next generation of workers—those who will be the leaders of tomorrow—for success in the digital economy requires building critical skills early and encouraging continuous learning throughout every stage of life. Through skills-building activities designed for today’s students, like Hour of Code, we aim to inspire belief in the power of technology and to foster the ability to wield it to improve the way the world works and lives.

— Martin Macuha, Technology Consulting Manager, Accenture Consulting Hour of Code volunteer
