A NEW digital literacy program running at Frankston libraries from 9 February will give children a head start in the world of computer programming.
A trained facilitator will lead the Code Club Australia program, teaching children aged 9-11 how to code, make computer games, animations and websites with projects that introduce children to programming languages such as Scratch, Python, HTML and CSS.
Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial said children will have the opportunity to learn computer programming skills through learning together, discovering and inventing through play.
“It is fantastic that we have a volunteer-led extracurricular activity that is providing opportunities for children to learn a skill that will undoubtedly assist them greatly in our fast-growing, technology-rich society.”
The free program will be held at Frankston Library on Thursdays at 4pm from 9 February.
Bookings open on Monday 23 January.
