I've just seen Larry Hryb (Major Nelson) retweet this on Twitter and decided to take a look, it looks like a great little one hour thing for the kids to check out and maybe start to understand the basics of coding. It includes (as mentioned in the title) Minecraft, Star Wars, Frozen, Flappy Bird and more.
What is the Hour of Code?
The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics.

This is actually a fantastic way to get kids involved with computer coding.
Kudos to the people who came up with the idea!

My daughter tried out the Minecraft Hourofcoding last night, she wants to give the 20 hour session a go now, how far she gets we'll see, but it was fun (I watched) & there are plenty of other options, this is a well executed "session" star wars, frozen etc,
