Gates and Zuckerberg To Teach Class on Coding
For code.org
Code.org, the organisation that believes "every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer programming" has signed up Microsoft Bill Gates and Facebook supremo Mark Zuckerberg to teach programming.
The pair will each participate in an "Hour of Code", 60-minute programming tutorials that are one one of the initiatives planned for 2013's Computer Science Education Week (CSEW) starting on December 9th. Gates will also participate in a one-hour video conference with a school that signs up for CSEW.
