SUMMARY:Introduction to Scratch Coding
DESCRIPTION:Note: This workshop is open to library staff in Connecticut 
 only.\n\nAre you intrigued by the thought of starting a library coding club 
 for kids or teens but have absolutely no idea about coding? Do you feel 
 STEM programs would enhance your Library’s offerings\, but feel out of 
 your depth and have often said\, “I’m not a computer person”? Then 
 this class is for you. This workshop will introduce participants to Scratch 
 computer coding\, and the only experience you need is how to use a mouse 
 and the internet. Participants will identify a few online resources 
 suitable for youth coding\, then work through basic Scratch projects to 
 build confidence as a Coding Club leader. Discuss potential topics for your 
 coding club and ways to host remote classes. This hands-on class - 
 specifically and only for true beginners - will help you develop a 
 marketable skill and attract new patrons to your library. 
 \n\n\n\nObjectives:\n\n\n	To identify online resources that can be used to 
 support youth coding\n	To understand the underlying principles of Scratch 
 computer coding\n	To build beginner coding skills in Scratch such as 
 movement\, speech\, backgrounds\, and inputs. \n	To develop potential youth 
 coding class topic ideas\n	To discuss solutions for remote and asynchronous 
 coding clubs/programs \n\n\nNote: This is a virtual workshop on Zoom
