Intro to game design with Koala Koders

Join us on this exciting eight-week coding journey! You will learn about the foundations of game development through block coding, from simple concepts including variables and "if statements" to more complex tasks like adding sound effects to your game. By the end of the program, you will be ready to show off all your new skills in your final task — a hackathon!

This workshop is for youth in grades 6 - 7 and takes place over eight Thursdays from January 18 to March 7.

Note: Students will need a free library card to use the online library coding resource, Fiero Code. We recommend students have access to a Google account so they can use Google Classroom. 

City Library is partnering with Koala Koders to offer this program. Koala Koders was founded in 2022 by local teens Nicole Zhang and Daniel Kim to provide free coding education to kids and teens in Metro Vancouver. Nicole has extensive experience teaching computer science at Under the GUI Academy and Thinkland.AI. Daniel works at Steamoji as a curriculum developer and learning facilitator and has achieved high awards in math and computer science contests.

Please only register once for this program. You will automatically be registered for all eight sessions.
