Kids Are Learning To Code Each Week At Carver Park In Cantonment

October 2, 2018

Children are learning to code during a program from the West Florida Library each week at Carver Park in Cantonment.

Monday, the children used Coding Jam with characters and physical blocks to help them learn block-based coding through music and play. They were able to get to know coding’s creative side while developing an ear for rhythm, melody and harmony.

The small blocks with the coding kits are put together by the kids. The blocks and code are read by an iPad and the characters on the screen come to life.

They previously used Coding with Awbie, which teaching logic skills and problem solving. They control Awbie, a playful character that loves strawberries. Each  coding command opens a strawberry munching adventure for Awbie.

The coding program is offered  Monday afternoons from 4:00 until 5:30 at Carver Park, 208 Webb Street. They won’t be there next week due to the Columbus Day holiday but will return on October 15.
