Coding is Watch Captain Hooker and Peter Porn (1987)for everyone.
The idea of stringing together commands to make a program is daunting prospect for most, but that's because many have never seen visual programming tools. Until now.
Monday's Google Doodle puts a super-easy visual programming tool on the search page and gently guides even the most programming-averse among us with straightforward and kind of cute tutorials.

And, yes, Code.org created an Hour of Code program that helps coordinate many of these efforts.
While there are in-person, free Hour of Code programs at Apple and Microsoft stores around the world, Google's on-your-desktop approach certainly has the widest reach.
The Google Doodle programming interface is simple, colorful, and easy to use. There's a blocky white rabbit and the carrots he wants to eat. You help him reach these carrots by dropping programming blocks into the space below and hitting a big orange play button to test your code.
Scratch teaches basic sequences, and increasingly complex nested loops. While there are multiple ways to program a solution, the Google Doodle encourages you to find the shortest, or most efficient one.
There's also a companion Web site that lets students design their own Google Logo using a visual programming app called Scratch. It also includes a link to Teacher Resources in case you plan to teach code in the classroom.

Even if you're not into coding, you'll probably have a good time just trying to figure out the best way to get the rabbit all her carrots, and you'll probably learn how to code, anyway.
