Middletown library offers coding course to aid aspiring young programmers
The Middletown Free Library is offering a coding course for children ages 10 and up starting in early March — but there are only a few open spots left.
The free course will be run by the library’s college volunteers and will teach participants “a variety of computer skills” that they can showcase when applying to universities. Students who sign up for the course will work in teams on a project for six to eight weeks, after which they will present the project.
When working on their projects, students will be learning the Python programming language by using Carnegie Mellon University’s CMU CS Academy graphics library, according to the Middletown Free Library. Alternative options also will be available for younger participants.
The course will take place each Tuesday starting March 3, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the library’s Maker Space. Registration is required, and there are just three seats available.
