In 37 regional libraries from Moldova, about 740 kids aged 10 - 14 years will participate to coding workshops in their region and 740 of their parents will be involved in trainings dedicated to the online security for their kids. #SuperCoders is a programming workshop specially designed for kids ages 10 to 14 years, to make the first steps in the code world in a way as easy and fun as possible. The purpose of the workshop is to teach them how to use time spent on the computer in a useful way. For one day, the little ones learn to create animations, interactive stories and games with the drag & drop technique, using the SCRATCH programming language. They also get acquainted with the first programming concepts and mathematical logic to transform their ideas into creations. 37 teachers of Informatics, trained by the facilitators from Technical University of Moldova teachers, explain the basics of the Scratch language and provide examples of animations and games.
