 Only 1 in 4 K-12 schools offer computer science courses such as programming. By the year 2034, 64% of all jobs will require some type of programming skills. The RVC Hour of Code aims to fill this gap by offering FREE monthly coding workshops using MIT created blockly drag and drop coding. Professor Chuck Konkol has been offering these workshops since December 2015 with an average of 15 in attendance each event.

Professor Chuck Konkol of Rock Valley College hosts monthly Hour of Code Workshops -- which will be held at CherryVale Mall beginning in June 2018! These Hour of Code workshops are OPEN TO PUBLIC! The workshops are scheduled monthly. The workshops focus on creating a drag and drop app to share with family and friends while the "Learn Coding with Robots" focus on coding and robotics. RSVPSpace is limited in each workshop. Click here to RSVP now to reserve your space! WorkshopsWhat happens at the Hour of Code Workshop?
National Hour of Code ProgramThe ultimate national goal is to get 10 million students to try computer science for one hour. In addition, the Hour of Code demystifies computer science and coding. For more information about this nation-wide event visit hourofcode.com/us.
