Gr. 4-6 Code Club

About this event

45minutes weekly Sept. 1-Nov. 18. Registration and MPL library card required. Bring your own equipment. Limited to students currently in Grades 4-6. This is a club, not a class. When you register, your confirmation email will contain your setup instructions. You will need your MPL library card number to set up the Fiero account. It's important to set up your child's account before their first meeting! These meetings are geared for children in Grades 4-6 using their own internet-capable laptop, Chromebook, or tablet. Ms. Cheryl and teen volunteers will facilitate, cheerlead, and help children learn how to work through roadblocks. Our goal is to help children transition from teacher-led instruction to project-driven learning and teamwork with opportunities to share their projects and inspire other club members. Children will use Fiero Code on their own devices to learn coding, animation, HTML, and more at their own pace. The software is geared for kids ages 8-18 and will guide students through an independent learning journey that includes project-based learning, story-based learning, and incorporates many fun gamification elements. Children can also use Fiero at home (with internet and a library card.) Children will be learning by doing independent projects rather than being taught in teacher/classroom style. If you need a library card with us, parents can bring their photo ID and proof of Ohio address to the library. If you do not intend to check out physical materials from us, then adults can set up a digital account online. Information here If our club seats are full, your child (or you) can still learn at home. Fiero Code access is FREE with all MPL library cards!
