Coding Club for grades K-12

Coding for grades K-12 is back in action at Swanton Public Library! Coders can come in on a one-to-one basis to learn some coding skills with our equipment. Coding will be open on Monday and Wednesday of each week. The time slots available are 4:00-4:30 pm and 4:30-5:00 pm and are open to one coder at a time. That way, we can sanitize equipment between coders to help make sure everyone is safe. The equipment is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so please choose two items you would like to work with so we can have at least one of them ready for you!
