Hour of Code

Join us Tuesdays and Thursdays as we explore and chat about fun activities in science, technology, art and more!

The Kids Library Club is designed to foster social connection for kids through fun learning activities.  Using virtual video chat, kids are introduced to new concepts and ideas in fun and engaging ways.  Topics range from a variety of educational disciplines such as science and technology, arts, social studies and more.

This week we will be exploring the topic of coding from the Ontario curriculum by developing, creating, and discussing activities from the Hour of Code. The Hour of code is a worldwide effort to encourage participation in computer science by showing that anyone can learning the basics of coding. For this activity, the following supplies are required: access to the Hour of Code website.
