Hour of Code at the National Science Foundation

The video discusses the collaboration between Code.org and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to expand access to computer science education from kindergarten through 12th grade. It highlights the success of the Hour of Code initiative and the importance of making computer science literacy as fundamental as reading and math. The video also emphasizes the significance of unplugged activities in early childhood education to teach fundamental skills like sorting and sequencing, which are crucial for understanding complex computer science concepts later. Finally, it stresses the need to make computing skills accessible to everyone, not just those traditionally seen as 'computing geeks'.
