    {% blocktrans %}The Computer Science Field Guide is a free online resource for teaching Computer Science to students.
    This guide was initially developed as an online interactive textbook to support the new achievement standards in Computer Science that were being rolled out in New Zealand (2011-2013), and is now being adapted for use all over the world.
    The New Zealand project started in 2012, with the first materials released to the public in 2013.{% endblocktrans %}

    {% blocktrans %}This guide is free for you to copy, share and even modify.
    It will also be downloadable as a PDF file (although it's recommended to read through the website because you can watch the videos and use the interactive activities).
    The source material (all raw text, images, videos and interactive programs) is <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/uccser/cs-field-guide">available on GitHub</a>.{% endblocktrans %}
