CodeBrooklyn School Interest Form

The purpose of this survey is to 1) identify the interest level of schools in Brooklyn, 2) determine timing to launch programs to teach children computer science, 3) to help prepare for CSEd week (December 7 - 13), and 4) to conduct an "Hour of Code" in every Brooklyn school during CSEd week.

This information will be used to connect schools with various programs, volunteers, and funding.

Fill out as much as you can of the survey below -- the only required information, marked with a red asterisk, is your contact information (name, connection with school) and some basic school information along with information about "Hour of Code". BUT, we'd really appreciate it if you'd fill out the entire form as it will assist us immensely to help your school.

Once you have completed this form, please also take a moment to very quickly register your school as an official Hour of Code participant at http://hourofcode.com/codebrooklyn
