For the Hour of Code, we'll be focusing our promotional efforts towards the feeder schools and our school. To encourage students to get involved, we'll be opening up the labs during lunch for VP students to come in and participate in HOC activities supervised by members of ICS-3U7. Each Pod will also be delegated a yet TBD promotional activity to fulfill.

VP: We will be participating in the annual programming event, **Hour Of Code,** from December 4 to December 10.

Did you know that there are nearly 700 computer programming languages?

If programming were a country, it would be the third most diverse in languages spoken—after Papua New Guinea and Indonesia!

From December 4 to 8, VP will be hosting its very own **Hour of Code** at lunch, every day of the week, in Computer Labs C3 and C15.

Come down to learn more about one or more of these many languages!
