Code.org最初是一个简单的想法。我们想制作一个5分钟的视频来宣传一个简单的愿景，即每所学校的每个学生都应该有机会学习计算机科学。启动代码的视频。org在2013年成为了一个病毒式的打击。在1200万次浏览后，近20，000名教育工作者伸出援手，要求我们帮助将“这个”带到他们的教室。当时，我们中只有一个人在Code.org全职工作，而“这”只不过是一个视频和一个想法。我们已经走过了漫长的道路，因为来自教育界的惊人的支持，从数以百万计的家长和学生，并从慷慨的捐助者。今天，Code.org是一个全面的努力，以解决整个K-12频谱的计算机科学教育，在美国的每一所学校。值得注意的是，虽然我们的名字是Code.org，我们选择它是因为它简短而吸引人，但我们的重点是-而且一直是-计算机科学。如何“在课程中增加一个新领域”，并没有蓝图，当然也没有一根杠杆可以拉动，也没有一根魔杖可以挥舞。因此，我们的工作涉及许多相互关联的努力，包括营销，宣传，课程开发和专业发展。我们在美国有两个终极目标：让每所学校都能接触到计算机科学，让不同的学生群体都能高度参与。
Code.org initially began as a simple idea. We wanted to make a 5-minute video to promote a simple vision—that every student in every school deserves the opportunity to learn computer science. The video that launched Code. org in 2013 became a viral hit. After 12 million views, almost 20,000 educators reached out to ask our help to bring “this” to their classrooms. Back then, there was only one of us working full-time at Code.org, and “this” was nothing more than a video and an idea. We have come a long way since, thanks to the amazing support from the education community, from millions of parents and students, and from generous donors. Today Code.org is a comprehensive effort to address computer science education across the K-12 spectrum, in every school in the United States. It is important to note while our name is Code.org, which we chose for being short and catchy, our focus is—and always has been—on computer science. There is no blueprint for how to “add a new field to the curriculum,” and there is certainly no single lever to pull or magic wand to wave. As a result, our work involves many interconnected efforts—across marketing, advocacy, curriculum development, and professional development. We are aiming for two ultimate goals in the United States: ▪ access to computer science in every school, and ▪ high participation across a diverse student body.
