Event Details

CoderDojo is a volunteer-led, open source, and nonprofit global movement that teaches children how to code, make games, develop web sites, and create mobile applications. There are currently 432 dojos operating in 45 different countries. This is a sociable, fun, and interactive environment where people can collaborate, learn together, and openly share their programs and ideas. CoderDojo materials are targeted at young people between the ages of 10 and 17. The class is open to the first 10 children; parents are welcome to attend with their children during the duration of the class. The library will have 8 computers available for use but participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop. Participants will need the free BlueJ software installed on their laptop before the class begins. Please visit http://www.bluej.org/ for more details. Sponsored by Palos Verdes Library District, these classes are free and open to the public. This program will be held the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month.
