Teen Coding Meetups

DRAFT -- PENDING FINAL APPROVAL FROM LIBRARY

Did you participate in Girls Who Code last year? Did you learn the basics of coding elsewhere and are now looking to extend your skill set while meeting link-minded teens in an informal environment? Keep on coding at our new series of Teen Coding Meetups at the Newton Free Library! These sessions grew out of the GWC program, but are open to any teen with an understanding of the core elements of coding: variables, conditionals, loops, and functions. Teens of all genders are welcome.

This is a drop-in activity, no registration is required. Come when you can!

There won't be any "Sage on Stage" style instruction, but the Newton GWC staff is happy to work with teens on any of the GWC Extended Activity Sets (http://www.newtongwc.org/activity-sets#extended), which have a lot of meat to them on many disparate subjects. Teens can also bring their own projects to the meetup and get feedback and help from staff and peers. Use the library computers or bring your laptop.

We meet from 2:30P - 4:30P on occasional Sunday afternoons, roughly every two weeks. Here is the current schedule of meetup dates:

All meetings are in the Newton Free Library computer lab on the 2nd floor. For more information, contact David Miller at Newton GWC (david@newtongwc.org) or Liz Rowland at the Newton Free Library (lrowland@minlib.net).
