Code.org is a non-profit organization and educational website founded by Hadi and Ali Partovi[1] aimed at K-12 students that specializes in computer science.[2] The website includes free coding lessons and other resources. The initiative also targets schools in an attempt to encourage them to include more computer science classes in the curriculum.[3] On December 9, 2013, they launched the Hour of Code nationwide to promote computer science during Computer Science Education Week through December 15, 2013.[4][5][6]
