Our first Code Ninjas kicks off on Monday (September 20th), 4:00pm on Zoom!
Meeting Room ID: 480 838 7566
Password: 123456
Below are some common FAQ's parents have been asking:
1.) What is Code Ninjas? Code Ninjas is a program for elementary and middle school students to learn computer coding. (High school students are welcome but the teaching style will be simple so that the youngest kids can also understand!)
2.) What is Scratch? Scratch is created by MIT to teach kids coding. It's completely free! We'll create all our projects at scratch.mit.edu.
3.) Do you need a Scratch account? No. You can use all of Scratch's features without an account. However, if your child is interested in mastering coding, an account will be helpful because it'll let them save their projects and share their projects with the Scratch community. Scratch accounts are also free.
4.) What does my child need to bring to Code Ninjas. Nothing. Just a willingness to learn, think creatively, and work well with others.
5.) What kind of devices can my child use? Chromebooks or laptops or desktops work best. Phones will not work. Tablets... maybe? Most/all of our projects will require a computer mouse and/or a keyboard. If a keyboard and mouse can be hooked onto the tablet, it will work.
Any other questions? Ask Amy Carlson at Thornton Library.
