Asheboro library invites kids to learn computer coding in ‘maker’ events

ASHEBORO – A news series of “maker” events for kids gets underway with “Coding with MIT’s Scratch” at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 23, at the Asheboro Public Library.

The maker events, which will take place during the last week of each month (future dates to be announced), are free and school-age children are invited.

Scratch is a computer language that enables you to program your own interactive stories, games and animations, and share your creations with others in an online community.

Whether you have experience in computer coding or not, Scratch is designed to make computer animation easy and fun. Laptops will be provided, so come to explore, discover and create something imaginative and original in computer code.

Space is limited; call 318-6804 or visit the Children’s Room to sign up.

Future maker events are being planned and are likely to include duct tape, cardboard, cooking, video production and more.

The library is located at 201 Worth Street.
