Are you still considering volunteering? Jump on in! View the volunteer guide of each position to guide your choice.
Leading (or helping with) Hour of Code is fun and only requires a little bit of
preparation! The most important thing to remember is that we are there to
introduce ourselves and computer science---so be certain to start with an
introduction to computer science and then allow each volunteer to introduce
themselves.
Below, you'll find materials to help you prepare!

Lesson Transcript
Video lessons that address common situations:
Videos 2-4 are missing since UT decided to delete alumni utexas accounts. We are working to find and re-upload the originals.
Please pay careful attention to the recommended age range!
If you are presenting a lesson that does not begin with a video, here is a 5-minute video (so maybe a little long), Computer Science is Changing Everything.
Additionally, we have some prepared (and usable) slides explaining common CS problems---you can use these to interest older students who finish early. The slides have corresponding videos, but use those just to prepare yourself. In class, explain the problem in person.
