MIT Scratch Youth Program

The Belfast Free Library will offer a free Scratch computer programming workshop series for kids ages 9 and up beginning on Wednesday, April 24th. Participants will work with instructor Eric Cohen-Solal to design and code their own computer program ideas. Using the MIT developed Scratch program they can learn to create interactive stories, animation, games, and art. Beginners and experienced Scratch users are welcome to attend. This is a drop in program where participants can attend a single meeting or return each week. Workshops are scheduled in the library’s new MakerSpace each Wednesday 4:00 – 5:00 pm from April 24 through May 29. Computers will be available for participants use, or they may bring their own laptops.
