The remaining Tuesday sessions are scheduled for Oct. 6, 13, 20 and 27 from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. Each meeting explores a different topic using Scratch, the visual coding language that lets learners build projects by arranging colorful blocks of instructions rather than beginning with lines of traditional computer code.
That approach makes Scratch an inviting starting point for children who want to create an animation, experiment with game design or see how a computer follows a set of instructions. The program’s weekly structure also gives students a chance to return, build confidence and try new ideas without needing prior coding experience.
Classes will be held in the library’s Quiet Room and are limited to 12 participants. Children may bring their own laptop or borrow one of the library’s Chromebooks. Anyone who needs to reserve a Chromebook should email effie.janulis@roseland.bccls.org in advance.
Parents and caregivers can register for one or more of the remaining sessions at roselandpubliclibrary.org. The flexible registration option makes the series especially useful for families whose October schedules do not allow for every class, while still giving young learners a hands-on way to explore technology, problem-solving and creative thinking.
