Coding for Fun!

Codeblocks with TinkerCAD

Use "loops" in TinkerCAD codeblocks to make a creative design.

Everyone should have an opportunity to learn about computer science! Coding for fun is an introduction to computer science and uses self-led tutorials over the course of one hour. The goal of the "Hour of Code" tutorials is not to teach everyone to become an expert in computer science, but allows everyone to have fun, improve problem solving skills, logic, reading for understanding, and to be creative. This builds a great foundation for learning computer languages and how to write a code for younger ages. In this program, learners will start by exploring how patterns are used in nature, biology, and sciences. In this process, they will use computational thinking to recognize patterns in their code and use loops around those patterns to create something in Tinkercad. Program is limited to 10participants.   

This program was designed for 2nd grade and up, but younger children may attend if an adult/guardian/caregiver is present to assist them throughout the program. Each child in sixth grade or younger attending the program must be directly supervised and assisted by a responsible caregiver while in the Studio. Most ACPL programs welcome guests, however the Studio programs can only accommodate registered patrons and their supervising caregivers.  

Space is limited: Register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins.
