Local youth aged eight to 12 years still have the chance to join the Ararat Coding Club and dive into the exciting world of technology and coding.
The Club helps young coders learn how to design and build their own digital games, while introducing key concepts like programming, logic, mathematics, and computational thinking - all in a fun, hands-on way.
Designed by tech education charity Creativity Bytes and delivered by Ararat Library staff, the program engages students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) learning in an inclusive and supportive environment.
Sessions are held weekly at the Ararat Library, every Wednesday from 4pm to 5pm. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop, however, there may be some spare laptops for use at the session.
"Council is pleased to give local kids access to the latest digital tools and learning opportunities, regardless of their background or financial situation," said Mayor Cr Jo Armstrong.
"With coding becoming part of so many future careers, this is a great way for youth to build skills they can have fun with now - and benefit from well into the future."
