About Hour++ of Code
The Hour Plus Plus of Code event features various one-off workshops for school-age students to learn how to code. Our upcoming workshop is open to Grade 6-9 students who are interested in building a dice game app (see below). Students will use Thunkable, which is a drag-and-drop app builder, to apply basic coding concepts to build this app.

The deadline to sign up is Jan 27 (Thursday) at 11:59 pm. A confirmation email with the Zoom link will be sent to students by Jan 28 (Friday) at 5:00 pm. The meeting link will be open 30 minutes before the workshop starts for attendees to test their setup (e.g. is your audio working?).
