Cities of Learning 2014 Summer of Learning: Coding with Scratch
« Events
This summer, Pursuitery is hosting free Coding with Scratch classes offered by the Connected Learning Alliance, that brings together organizations, programs, projects, initiatives and individuals working to leverage today’s technology for more equitable access to learning and opportunity for all young people.
The class employs social media for feedback and sharing, and offers an opportunity for students to gain experience with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) skills in a fun and supportive environment. Participants will be working alongside peers, youth mentors, experts, and Scratch Coaches. Young people will learn how to think creatively, reason systematically and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.
Participate through the citys' website if you are a Cities of Learning participant (Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C.), or sign up through the "Coding with Scratch" website.
Session 1: June 16 – July 20 , 2014
Session 2: July 21 – August 24, 2014
