Code Ninjas of Midland Park will host a free MLK Coding Workshop Day with three one-hour workshops. The coding workshops are appropriate for children ages 7 to 10 years old. Children will experience creative and analytical challenges and opportunities as they build, mod, and create 'Minecraft' like games in Scratch. Participants will be able to choose their own characters and actions inside the games and learn to control and manipulate those characters. Registration is required. The coding workshops are designed to teach kids the fundamentals of computer programming, specifically looping, condition statements and variables and children with no experience in coding can participate as well as those with some previous instruction. The workshops are designed to be entertaining, fun and educational and foster the young creative mind and teach children to be 'digital producers', as opposed to digital consumers.
