Kids Coding: Easy Programs Anyone

This presentation outlines the successful implementation of the Google CS First club in Olds, Alberta. The program is a partnership between the public and school libraries that introduces computer science to kids in a fun and interactive after school program that anyone can run in their own library. Teachers, parents, and librarians alike have used CS First. No computer science experience needed! Instructional videos guide students through each activity, allowing you to work with students individually and encouraging them to help each other. We will show you how to start your own program and outline best practices for a successful program.
