So, Why coding?

Coding Is NOT:

● A lone geek in a basement pounding on a keyboard● Too complicated for everyday people to learn● Too complicated for everyday librarians/teachers to TEACH● Boring● Mechanical● Magical (though it can seem that way)

Coding is:

● Self-expression● Problem-solving● Everywhere● Imaginative● Fun● Power

Coding in Your CommunitiesCommunity Partnerships

What are your schools doing?

Do you have a community makerspace?

Other local organizations, clubs, business...

Coding in Your CommunitiesMonroe Public Library

● Board game coding● Playing with robots● Elementary and middle

school age

Coding in Your CommunitiesMilton Public Library & Milton School District

● Summer Club Partnership● Elementary age ● Scratch - An Intro to Computer Science

Coding in Your (extended) CommunitiesDenver Public Library

● Adults● Multiple-session classes

Coding in Your CommunitiesDPI Partnership!

● 3 Year Coding Initiative● Develop Resources for Libraries● Beta Systems & Library Sites● LSTA Grants

how to talk about coding...to boards/administration

● By year 2020 there will be 1.4 million jobs in programming and a lack of qualified job applicants.

● Formal coding programs can cost $$$$$.● Library offered classes/programs offer access to tech

“have nots.”● Teaches problem solving, project management,

computational thinking = improved employability.

how to talk about coding...to parents & guardians

● Not all schools teach coding.● By year 2020 there will be 1.4 million jobs in

programming and a lack of qualified job applicants.● Coding teaches problem solving, project management,

computational thinking.● ● Coding is a skill that can be learned at

home! Fun board games and apps that you can play with your children teach important code literacy skills.

how to talk about coding...to educators

● By year 2020 there will be 1.4 million jobs in programming and a lack of qualified job applicants.

● Teaching code literacy helps kids learn analytical thinking and problem solving that they can use in other subjects.

● We (the library) offer coding lesson plans to help you bring coding games and activities into your classroom.

● (If possible) We can put the apps you use in the classrooms on library owned devices, to ensure software matches up with what students have at school.

how to talk about coding...to Kids & Teens

● Kids: This game (app, program) lets you show off your thinking skills to solve puzzles and/or make something!

● Teens: Coding teaches the skills needed to build apps and computer games!

● Coding lets you solve problems and try to outsmart your friends!

how to talk about coding...to businesses & organizations

● The library will highlight the partnership and your business will be promoted to the community.

Discussion● What’s your first thought when someone says coding? Can

you find other ways to discuss coding w/o using the word “coding.” (2 Min)

Discussion● Where is your library in terms of code literacy/STEM

programs? and...● Where would you like to go? (4 mins)

Discussion● What do you see as benefits of coding?

Discussion● What potential issues could arise from implementing a

● How can you resolve these challenges?

Discussion● Pretend the newspaper heard about your coding program

and called to ask about it. What do you say? (2 Min)

Discussion● Create an elevator speech to tell your boss why you

want to do a coding program, OR for your friends/foundation to explain what coding is and why it belongs in your library (or department). (4 mins)

Discussion● How can you incorporate what you learned today into

your own libraries? ● Of the things you played with and the ideas we talked

about, what are you most likely to use in your programs? (4 mins)
