==History==
Code.org was launched in January 2013 by Hadi and Ali Partovi, as a non-profit focused on making computer "programming" more accessible. Their initial focus was on creating a database of all computer science classrooms in the United States. At the time, Hadi Partovi stated that about ninety percent of US schools do not teach programming, despite it now being a “foundational field”. The idea for the organization came from Hadi, who states that he thought of it on the day of Steve Jobs’ death in 2011, while mulling over his own potential legacy. After this, Hadi worked full-time to bring the organization to fruition.〔
In late February 2013, a month after launch, they released a video featuring Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey and other programmers and entrepreneurs on the importance of learning to code. Two weeks after the launch, ''TechCrunch'' reported that the video had gone viral and received a lot of positive attention. Partovi raised about $10 million for Code.org from various tech companies and tech company founders. In 2014, Code.org posted a one-hour tutorial to build and customize a ''Flappy Bird'' video game using the site's block visual programming language. Code.org has also created coding programs revolving around characters from the Disney film ''Frozen'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How to get more girls to code: Use Frozen's Elsa )〕 in addition to ''Angry Birds'' and ''Plants vs. Zombies''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quit Saying 'I'm Just Not a Math Person' )〕 In December 2014, Code.org held a successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign that raised over $5 million to help educate school children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Indiegogo )〕 Overall about 100 million students have been reached by Code.org efforts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hour of Code - Program Supported by Government and Industry Leaders )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hour of Code to feature Star Wars: The Force Awakens )〕 On November 16, 2015, Microsoft announced a partnership with Code.org to launch ''Minecraft'' as a tutorial to teach kids how to code.
