Workshop today in Port Hadlock looks at computer coding

PORT HADLOCK — What makes apps, games and gadgets work? Although it may seem magical, it’s all a matter of computer coding.

Code enthusiasts and librarians Chris HoffmanHill and Daniel Heaton will offer a free interactive workshop on computer coding at the Jefferson County Library, 620 Cedar Ave., at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

“Curious About Coding” is part of the 2015 Escape the Ordinary Adult Summer Reading program for ages 18 to 101.

Participants will begin online with Hour of Code, a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in more than 180 nations.

Following the online experience, participants will progress to hands-on play with Ozobots, tiny robots that provide an expressive way to learn and play.

Ozobots teach code language, robotic behavior and deductive reasoning while participants play. No prior experience is needed.
