Spring 2022
Coding Club: Families Learning Together
6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Families are invited to learn the basics of coding at our weekly playshops! Get started with Scratch, a free kid-friendly coding program, then expand to physical computing with tools like the Makey Makey, micro:bits, and craft circuit materials. Activities are designed for ages 7 and up and require some reading skills, with parents participating to support future exploration.
