Baltimore, MD<\/p>\n

Nascent student and parent computer scientists are gathering this summer at five Maryland public libraries.\u00a0 Their mission: to learn and create their own inventions using the latest computer technology.<\/p>\n

Family Coding Clubs, \u00a0based on a successful program developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will engage children and their parents to learn together as designers and inventors.\u00a0 Up to 15 families per site will be taking part at the free workshops in Baltimore, Caroline, Cecil, St. Mary\u2019s, and Washington Counties.<\/p>\n

The sky is the limit for each student\/parent team involved in this state-of-the-art activity. \u00a0For example, teams may develop games and controllers, using such programs as Scratch and MaKey Makey.<\/p>\n

Maryland\u2019s Family Coding Clubs are funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.\u00a0 MSDE\u2019s Division of Library Development and Services is partnering with Code in the Schools and FutureMakers to launch the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
