OurKidsCode are offering completely free Family Creative Coding workshops in selected libraries again this summer.
These 2-hour workshops are a fun and engaging way for parents and primary-aged children to explore coding together by making a game using craft supplies and child-friendly coding. No previous experience necessary, absolute beginners welcome!
Activities are aimed at ages 7-12, but all children in the family are welcome.
To book your free place, please sign up directly with your library.
You will be asked to register with OurKidsCode on the day of the workshop.
Please note: These workshops are not a drop-off activity.
Families work together throughout the workshop and every child must have their parent / legal guardian with them at all times.
