* Please note due to coronavirus, the sessions will be taking place online rather than at the library. Please do not attend the library.*

The next activity for participants to Flower Generator (https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/flower-generator).

Please remind children to challenge themselves! As before, the session will be an online show and tell so the exercise needs to be completed before the session.

If your child is new to Scratch, please set up a Scratch account (https://scratch.mit.edu/) and do the exercise called Deep Sea Sushi (https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/cd-beginner-scratch-sushi). Don't forget to note down your Scratch username and password for future use!

The Zoom link to the session will be sent to attendees at 9am on the morning of the show and tell.

Please cancel your ticket if your child is not able to attend so we are aware of turnout and others can join instead.

See you then!

=========

Free event open to children aged 8 to 17 accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Computers are provided; all you need to bring is a can do attitude and your Scratch username and password! Please arrive 10 minutes before the session.

There is easy access to the library using public transport. The library is right by Canada Water tube station.

During the session your child will learn one of the following:

- Scratch

An ideal way to get started with coding and have amazing fun building video games and animations, with all the help you need. If you've done some Scratch before, we have a great choice of projects to make or develop your own game concept with the help of our wizard mentors.

- HTML

Learn to use HTML to structure the content of a webpage. Then change the layout of the page using CSS. For interactivity, we will use javascript to program how different elements of a page respond to user-interaction. We will make use of an online space so you can continue working on projects at home.

-Python

Python is a widely used, general purpose, text-based programming language. Python is commonly used as a first text-based language because it’s very readable and you can get things done with less code than many other languages. Python has support for turtle graphics and other modules that make coding more fun and colourful.

Python is used for real projects in industry so it’s a useful language to learn.

Group size and participant selection

We make space for 8 participants (and their parents/guardians) which will be allocated on a first come first service basis.

Terms of participation:

A parent or carer must accompany their child/children throughout the session and take responsibility for them and for their belongings while on the library premises.

If you book places but are unable to attend, kindly let us know so we can re-allocate the places to those on our waiting list. We reserve the right to refuse bookings in future by families who repeatedly book tickets, cannot attend and do not let us know.

Important note:

A parent! (Very important). If you are 12 or under, your parent must stay with you during the session.
