Carrots, Pacific Science Center and The Seattle Public Library was a party for all ages! Attendees

not only learned the basics of web literacy and how to program with Python/JavaScript languages but

also got the chance to improve the Django Carrots Tutorials and explore other programming languages. As well as get creative with the basics of binary by learning how binary can represent numbers, letters

and pictures.

Case Study: Maker Party at Brooklyn Public Library

Brooklyn Public Library hosted an event for youth ages 10-18, featuring hands-on activities that

celebrate the fact that stories are as much fun to read as they are to make! Create an online comic strip, design and playtest video games, make a stop-motion animated short, or retell/remix your favorite story using digital media and the web. The goal is to make something awesome and

share it with others!
