Toledo Library Focuses on Teaching the Next Generation
Coding
Computer programming has
often been a topic for computer engineers, but coding has
transformed into a key component for many curriculum's and
deemed an essential ability for 21^st century learners.
The Toledo Lucas County
Public Library is dedicated to helping local kids develop
technology and problem-solving skills needed to succeed. The
Library has developed a system to help kids begin the
process of coding through fun, interactive and educational
programs.
