“Learn To Code” programs often go hand-in-hand with gaming programs, but it can be hard to figure out the best way to introduce your patrons to coding. Thankfully, American Libraries recently put together a great overview of a few different “Learn To Code” programs, specifically ones that using games to introduce coding concepts:

With computing jobs projected to grow two times faster than other fields, coding skills are an increasingly important literacy area. Libraries play a vital role in introducing these skills to their youngest community members. Coding may seem like a daunting subject for those who haven’t studied it, but there are a number of games that introduce computational concepts through play, making it easy and fun to practice computational thinking and problem solving.
