Introduction to ACM & Hour of Code

A couple of minutes are not enough to brief about the excitement and the ventures we go thru as being a part of University of Karachi ACM Student. So each year we organize hour of code, where we have guest speakers who introduce Computer Science to its students and talks about its wonder, followed by a presentation from a member of Executive Body explaining benefits, improvements and various experiences of ACM that he/she had.

Then we call out students to put their thinking caps on, because “Hour of Code” had started. We guide them thru different lessons and explain various concepts of programming like conditional statements, loops etc. With such kind of activity where students learn and have fun together. They get inspired by our way of friendliness and they start to think how beneficial ACM memberships could be. We then share some time with the students and answer their queries regarding memberships and its procedures.
