Each year Code.org, a nonprofit organization, presents the award to one public school in each state that has an entire school or classroom participate in the Hour of Code, an introduction to computer science designed to take the mystery out of computer coding and make computer science seem more accessible to students.
The Hour of Code typically takes place during Computer Science Education Week which this year was Dec. 7 to 13.
