<br />
We are trying to go through multiple communication venues this year on <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://hourofcode.com/us&source=gmail&ust=1542813898622000&usg=AFQjCNGqAG0mYdNW0Jj2RS8xbYu9F9nImw" href="https://hourofcode.com/us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Hour of Code Week,</a> so you might see some more on this over the next week or so after the holday. To remind, Hour of Code week is put together by Code.org, an entity that promotes computer science in all schools. If you are not aware yet, this year’s Hour of Code Week theme is: Creativity! Let’s show the nation how Vermont shows creativity in schools! <u></u><u></u></div>

The Agency of Education along with Vita Learn, and our new VT Computer Science Alliance are trying hard to build a number of events into this week. You may recall <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://thinkaboutcode.blogspot.com/p/guest-spakers.html&source=gmail&ust=1542813898622000&usg=AFQjCNGJ1e0L2u5pGnj90yyn324iNIOCgg" href="http://thinkaboutcode.blogspot.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">the great website</a> created by Lucie Delabruere and Vita Learn we have used in the past to “advertise” and organize this work over the course of the week. We hope to include your school in some activities that week! <u></u><u></u></div>

Last week<a href="http://vita-learn.org/"> Vita-Learn </a>and the <a href="http://education.vermont.gov/">Vermont Agency of Education</a> showcased some Vermont schools who were participating in Computer Science Week’s Hour of Code in conversations with the Vermont Code Community. During the next few week’s we’ll share some highlights from that week starting with our youngest learners from <a href="http://tunbridgeschool.org/">Tunbridge School. </a><br />
