Code.org wants 100 million students to learn the basics of computer science.
The Seattle-based organization today launched a crowdfunding campaign that aims to raise $5 million in order to introduce 100 million students around the world to one hour of coding lessons.
Primarily through its Hour of Code program, Code.org has already helped expose more than 44 million students to coding. But to reach 100 million, the non-profit needs some extra funding to help train teachers worldwide and reach the 90 percent of schools that don’t teach computer science.
