ISBN: 9780838918722.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lessons of ALA’s Libraries Ready to Code initiative are conclusive: your library can make a difference in developing computational thinking in children, teens, and even adults. And you don’t even need to be a techie to make it happen; in fact, many activities in this new book from tech champion Kroski dispense with a screen altogether in favor of twister boards, masking tape grids, or bowling pins. Other activities are built around affordable software or tech toys like Scratch Jr., Scratch, Bee-Bot, or Code-a-Pillar. Organized by age group, and complete with step-by-step guidance on everything from learning outcomes to an estimated budget, projects include teaching coding to preschoolers with beads, pipe cleaners, and elastic string; choreographing music videos with Ozobots; programming Mad Libs-style games using Python; teaching algorithms with story mapping, pattern play, or mazes; using Scratch for digital dress-up or meme remixes; team-building and outreach with robots; drop-in programs for exploration and unstructured play; and teaching adults with Lynda.com or Meetup partners.\nThis book’s structured presentation will help both school librarians and programming staff at public libraries quickly scan for projects that fit their needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ALA Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45815989469237,"sku":"ByrdShop_0838918727","price":48.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780838918722_a7061169-8df3-4a70-88db-c3fe97a7fe32.jpg?v=1789521097","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/60-readytouse-coding-projects-9780838918722","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
