Unplugged
Week of Code

Expand horizons in computer science through one fun week of interactive lessons and engaging activites.

Welcome to Week of Code

In our Week of Code challenge, students will spend 30-60 minutes for 5 days to learn the fundamental skills of computer science: abstraction, logic, algorithms, evaluation, and patterns. The challenge is structured as a shortened introduction to our complete computer science fundamentals curriculum, as it includes the first lesson of these five topics.

With our enjoyable storytelling and engaging activities, students will gain a memorable experience and develop a deeper understanding of computer science.
