Newton Library’s Coder Dojo Seeks Volunteer Instructors

The Newton Free Library seeks volunteer instructors to lead or co-lead a Coder Dojo club of up to 30 students in Grades 6-12 to explore and develop computing skills.  The club will meet in two-hour sessions twice a month and work with Scratch, JavaScript, AppInventor, and HTML/CSS, and open-source hardware.  The club will use curriculum selected from The Hardware Laboratory and/or Programming Languages.  Instructors must be proficient in at least one back-end programming language, have intermediate knowledge of data structures and algorithms, pass a background screening, and commit to volunteer 2-3 hours every other week.  The club will start in late winter and continue through the school year.  Contact Teen Librarian Liz Rowland at Liz Rowland lrowland@minlib.net.
