Join a Scratch coding workshop. Participants will follow step-by-step instructions to create a simple animation.

Join this teen volunteer team-led program to learn what Scratch coding is, how to use variables and simple operations, and how to create your own simple animation.
 
This workshop is for children ages 8 to 10. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop or tablet; iPads will be available as backups.

No experience is needed. The session is free, but registration is required.
