Code.org has a brand new tutorial for the Hour of Code 2015, in partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm — featuring Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Work with Rey to guide the new droid, BB-8, through a mission. Then, join Leia to create and share your own game in a galaxy far, far away.

Students will learn to write JavaScript to power their games. A tablet-friendly, drag-and-drop version will be available in the next few weeks and translated into 30+ languages soon (if you can help translate, visit http://code.org/translate). You can also check out other options for all ages. And stay tuned… more tutorials are coming soon.

I couldn’t be more excited to share Star Wars: Building a Galaxy with Code with you today. Code your own game, share it, and tell us what you think.
