 A Beginner Coding Workshop for youth ages 8 & older
will take place on Thursday, November 8th from 6:30—8:00 pm. Youth
will learn beginning steps of the process of how to “code” through
use of the National Youth Science Day “Code Your World” kits. The
kits were designed to help youth discover more about computer
science with “hands-on fun”. There is no charge to attend the Coding
workshop.
Also planned is the formation of a 4-H Robotics SPIN (Special
Interest) Club! “LoCo Robotics” will host an Interest Meeting for
the 4-H Robotics Club on Saturday, November 10th from 2 – 4 pm.
Robotics club is open to ages 8-18 and members build and program a
robot using LEGO Mindstorm EV3 kits. Costs: “New to 4-H members” -
$20 Annual 4-H Program Fee; ALL participants – additional $20 supply
fee. There is no charge to attend Interest meeting.
