Hour of Code is an initiative where students and working professionals take out one hour of their time to introduce young students to the world of Computer Science and programming. In 2018, the Hour of Code initiative was powered by the coding platform Progate. I volunteered to teach coding to the children of DSB International School, Mumbai where I introduced them to the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
