If you haven’t had a chance to peek at the new super awesome toolkit that is part of the Wisconsin Libraries Coding Initiative, I highly recommend taking some time to do that.  Created by our inimitable statewide youth services consultant Tessa Michaelson Schmidt, it is filled with amazing tips and resources, including, but not limited to:

  • Suggestions of coding activities, ranging from low-tech/low-cost to high-tech/high-cost, and everything in between
  • Ideas about how to connect with people to help you teach coding in your community
  • Ideas about equipment that could be useful, with something to match every budget
I cannot say enough how useful this resource is!  Do yourself a favor, whether you are coding curious or a coding enthusiast, or even coding terrified, you will find something here that will be easy to put to use.
