Announcing uCode@UWG
The University of West Georgia is launching an informal coding
club to help kids and young adults, ages 7-17, grow their computer programming
skills.
Aug 9 Session
The first session will be held Saturday, August 9, from 1 – 4 p.m.
in the UWG Education Center 2 and 3 (parking in Tyus lot; see attached parking
info). On August 9, two programs will be
introduced: Scratch for building
games and stories; and HTML for
creating websites.
Visit our website at http://www.westga.edu/ucode/
to learn about the program. Join our
Meetup Group (http://www.meetup.com/uCodeUWG/)
to receive email alerts when new events are announced. As we gather mentors and
learn what expertise they possess, we will be able to determine the topics of
later sessions.
Details
--uCode@UWG events are free to the public.
--Kids 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent/guardian (no
drop-offs), and parents are encouraged to participate in uCode@UWG activities.
--Kids should bring a laptop if they have one. uCode@UWG also has laptops for use during the
