Hour of Code Resources
A successful Hour of Code event depends on having the right resources in place before the first student sits down at a computer. From a student-facing coding activity to teacher guides, printable handouts, and a reliable platform that works on school hardware, every element needs to be ready and tested in advance. codeguppy.com provides a comprehensive set of free Hour of Code resources — digital and printable — designed to make event planning straightforward and event delivery smooth for teachers, librarians, and school administrators.
The platform's Hour of Code resource package includes: browser-based JavaScript coding activities that require no installation or student accounts; free illustrated draw-with-code activity booklets available for download and printing; step-by-step tutorial guides that work for both facilitated and self-directed sessions; and a library of beginner JavaScript projects that serve as both activity content and post-event inspiration. Together, these resources provide everything needed to run a high-quality Hour of Code for students from grades 5 through 12.
For CS teachers coordinating Hour of Code events across multiple classrooms or year groups, the browser-based platform eliminates the compatibility and installation issues that plague many whole-school coding events. Every student in every classroom accesses the same activities through a browser — no version differences, no setup failures, no wasted time at the start of the event. The printable booklets give teachers a physical backup for any connectivity issues.
School librarians who organize library-based Hour of Code workshops will find codeguppy.com an ideal platform: no library accounts needed, no app installations, works on library computers and Chromebooks alike. Download free printable resources and explore all Hour of Code activities at codeguppy.com.
