Yesterday, schools in Pt England, Auckland, kicked off the global Hour of Code campaign to get young people interested in technology.
Thousands of New Zealand students are set to learn coding in the annual Hour of Code campaign, sponsored by Microsoft.
Accenture employees across 55 of these countries have pledged to volunteer more than 10,000 hours to Hour of Code.
Kids are being encouraged to get into coding through a game many love - Minecraft - with Microsoft unveiling an online Minecraft coding tutorial.
