Monroe County 4-H offering Young Coders Club

Monroe County 4-H is forming a special-interest club for young coders, ages eight to 12. Youth will learn the basics of coding, create their own games, and build upon their skills in this six-session series of virtual workshops with New York State 4-H computer specialist Kat Leo. 

The New York State 4-H program has offered single-session workshops in the past called “Hour of Code” and “Code Your World,” with the intention of introducing youth to technology as part of the 4-H STEM initiative. The Young Coders Club is a short-term program where each session will build upon the last, so attendance at each session is recommended. 

Meetings will take place via Zoom on the first and third Tuesday each month from February through April. The deadline to register is Friday, January 29. The club is free for 4-H members. Non-members may enroll in 4-H at the time of registration. The enrollment fee is $20 per youth, with a maximum of $50 per family. Fee waivers will be considered upon request. Register for the Young Coders Club at https://bit.ly/2LHvMUn. Zoom meeting information will be emailed to participants before the meeting each week. 

The Monroe County 4-H Program is offered through Cornell Cooperative Extension to the youth of Monroe County. 4-H is a worldwide youth development program open to all youth ages five to 19 who want to have fun, learn new skills, and explore the world.
