Hour of Code with MentorNations

This year, in celebration of Computer Science Education Week, MentorNations organised Hour of Code with upward of 10,000 youth across Bangladesh, Tunisia, Pakistan, and the United States.  Hour of Code, a program offered via code.org, is an hour-long coding tutorial available for anyone from the ages of 4 to 104. The programme aims to provide an interactive way of teaching computational thinking – one of the primary building blocks of learning to code. With an audience of more than 150 students, on the 5th of December, Syed Akhter Hossain, Head of the Computer Science department, keynoted the Daffodil International University kickoff of this year's Hour of Code series in Bangladesh. Due to the success of this year's event, Hossain announced his support to impact more than 3,000 students – a joint initiative to be managed by Daffodil leadership, staff, and students in partnership with MentorNations.
