Summer Stars 2025: Coding with Scratch for Beginners

Booking for August events opens on Monday, July 14th.

Kids are in for a treat as they jump into the world of Scratch coding and make their own game! In this fun computer workshop, they'll learn the basics of coding through an exciting project. The library will provide the PCs, so all kids need to bring is their imagination. 

Scratch is the best playground for young coders, offering an easy visual interface that lets them create digital stories, games, and animations. Created by the Scratch Foundation, this non-profit has made Scratch the perfect place for young minds to explore and create!

Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations. Scratch is designed, developed, and moderated by the Scratch Foundation, a non-profit organization.

Suitable for children aged 8+
