Webinar - No Fear Coding: How to Start a Coding Club

Monday, September 24, 2018
1:00pm (CT)
Afraid of starting a coding club because you think your students know more than you do? Or you just don’t know where to start? Librarian Allyssa Loya shares her story of failures and successes in launching a coding club in her elementary school. This webinar will boost your confidence, arm you with the basics of coding, and give you resources for teaching computational thinking without even needing to touch a computer! 
Speaker
Allyssa Loya is an elementary school librarian in North Texas and the author of the series Disney Coding Adventures. Her passion for bringing meaningful learning to students led her to cultivate a technology-forward library that includes a makerspace and coding club. She loves sharing her knowledge with her peers and presents on topics that affect future-ready libraries.
