The world of computers is getting more interesting each day and Tri-City girls are invited to take part with a new coding club starting this weekend.
On Saturday, Jan. 30, Coquitlam Public Library and the local branch of Soroptimist International are partnering on the project. Girls aged eight to 18 years will learn how to code from BCIT instructors Colleen Penrowley and Rana Al-Sammarraie.
Coding is, simply put, typing commands that make computers do what you want them to do. In addition to honing their coding skills each meeting, older teens will be invited to mentor younger students.
The club will meet every Saturday through March 5 in the computer lab at the City Centre Branch. Meetings run from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
The club is free to join but registration is required.
To register, parents should contact librarian Chris Miller at [email protected] or 604-554-7339 and provide the child or teen’s name and age, as well as a phone number and email address.
