NEW!
"Story Coding" Program
Starting March 23rd, join us for a special collaboration with the University of Texas at Arlington's Education Department: a six-week workshop on “story coding.” This program is designed to promote children’s computational thinking and early coding concepts using children’s literature. Story coding is a playful and hands-on way for young children to explore and experiment with early coding. In addition, children will participate in fun STEAM activities and play with programmable toys.
