Families Computing Together

The Mission: Computer Science Education for Every K-5 School in America.
Starting with YOURS.
Now.

A quote from Governor Hogan:

“As we continue to fuel our state’s innovative economy, we must spark the interest of young students—particularly girls—to pursue careers in the growing field of computer science," said Governor Hogan. “Through exciting initiatives like Family Code Night and the Hour of Code, together we can ensure that the next generation has the skills that are necessary to lead, to innovate, and to be at the cutting edge of technology and the jobs of the future.”
