Wednesdays: NewTechKids Programming Animation & Games in Scratch Bootcamp for 8-12 Yrs: 5 weekly workshops (January-February 2020)

(Taught in English only.)

During this bootcamp of five (5) weekly workshops on Wednesday afternoons, kids ages 8-12 will be introduced to on-screen visual programming in a fun, informal environment. Kids will brainstorm ideas with pen, paper and art supplies before learning how to program using Scratch, an intuitive, block-based programming language to create animations and simple games based on their own personal interests.

The program is designed for kids with little to no experience with programming. Girls are especially welcome to join. Our program will be taught in English by a professional teacher (female) with experience teaching programming and Scratch in a Chicago middle school.

Workshops will take place weekly on Wednesday afternoons from 16:00 - 17:30 on the following dates:
- January 22 and 29, 2020
- February 5, 12 and 26, 2020

Our program is ideal for children with no previous exposure to programming and those who have previously participated in NewTechKids programs. A minimum of 15 students is required to offer this program. Registrants will be notified one week prior if the program is cancelled and a full refund will be provided.

Location: Presentation Zone, 1st Floor, Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam (OBA)/Amsterdam Public Library, Oosterdokskade 143, Amsterdam (5-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station)
