[code.learn.create] March Break Free Workshops with "Coding to Learn at Create" at OCADU

[David Pereyra]

Looking for something exciting and educating for your kids this March Break 2020? Coding to Learn and Create<https://www.codelearncreate.org/> is offering free, accessible workshops that combine fun and learning to give your children (recommended grade levels 1-6) an experience they won’t forget. We’re co-designing ways to make coding more accessible for children who have disabilities. It’s fun and you can be part of it!

Sign up today<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfX78cM3Sy80RJQyv4Wmh5WJLwRwrtAZckcktQKenVgmGPiIw/viewform?usp=sf_link> for one of our four FREE March Break Co-Design Workshops. Each workshop is limited to 20 participants so don’t delay.

Through hands-on activities, your child will learn the basics of coding and how to compose code sequences for Wonder Workshop’s Dash robot.<https://www.makewonder.com/robots/dash/> Parents and guardians can join in or watch the action happen. Robots and coding tools are provided at the workshop—all you need to do is register and join in.
