Requesting Permission from Code.org

Before beginning my work on the key documents, I started off by exploring the Hour of Code® resources. I looked at the how-to guide of the Hour of Code® where it was recommended to start of the session by playing an inspirational video to showcase the importance of computer science and coding. So, I searched through code.org® and found a suitable video starring Mr. Obama, the former President of the United States, where he mentions the beauty, practicality and importance of code.

However, as expected, the video was in English and I knew that considering the western accent and the language, the children would not understand it if played as is. I thought of translating the video to Telugu by adding a Telugu voiceover, but I looked at the video-copyright policy of code.org® and immediately knew that this action would be an infringement on their copyright policy. Subsequently, I sent an email to the code.org® Support Team and awaited a response on how to deal with my predicament.
