Breaking and Making: Computer Coding for Tweens

Thursday, March 5^th 6:30-8:00 pm

Ever wonder how computers know how to do all the cool things they do?  What if you were the one telling a computer what to do?  Coding is the key! 

 

Join us at Calvert Library for a fun evening of breaking and making computer code!  Garrison LeMasters, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Program in Communication, Culture, & Technology at Georgetown University will teach us about the code behind the popular computer game, “Brick Breaker.”  Next we will “break” that code, and re-write the code to “make" it our own! 

 

This event is for tweens in grades 5-7 and will be held Thursday, March 5, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at Calvert Library in Prince Frederick.  Registration is required.  Sign up today!  Space is limited.
