Coding in Libraries Made Easy
Join us for a concise, information-packed 2-hour session dedicated to the significance of teaching children computer programming and why libraries should take an active interest in this endeavor. Discover how to effortlessly introduce coding to your community, making it accessible to all. In the first half of the session, we'll explore the vital reasons behind imparting programming skills to kids and how it aligns with libraries' missions to foster learning and innovation.
The second half of our session will be hands-on as we simulate a "mock code club" experience. Here, you'll have the opportunity to apply the principles discussed earlier. Through interactive exercises, you'll gain practical insights into creating a vibrant coding environment within your library, engaging young minds, and nurturing their digital literacy.
Don't miss this chance to be part of a transformative movement, equipping the next generation with essential skills in a fun and accessible way.
