Explore the fascinating world of coding through a vibrant art workshop for kids at the Darling Square Library Makerspace.

Creative Coding is a great way to introduce your kids to fundamental coding skills, where the goal is to make something expressive rather than functional. In this intermediate workshop, participants will use the magic of code to create printable artwork they can take home.

*Please note: Creative Coding 2: Imagination Lab is part 2 in our Creative Coding for kids workshop series. It is advised that students complete part 1 before they join this workshop.

What you’ll learn:

  • Our experienced facilitator Jared Berghold will guide you through coding to make your very own computer-generated artwork!

  • This workshop features a slightly more advanced project for kids who have attended part 1 of our Creative Coding for kids workshops - this is a great next step for budding coders!

What you’ll make and have access to:

  • All materials provided to create your artwork

  • Computing devices: high-powered laptops

  • A hard copy postcard size (6” x 4”) print of your artwork on photo paper to take home 

Details:

  • Cost: $10 for each child

  • Bookings and class size: maximum 10 children – bookings essential

  • Suitable for: children aged 8 to 12 years

  • Experience level: suitable for beginners, basic keyboard skills recommended

  • Please bring a USB if you wish to save your digital files at the end of the class

About the facilitator: The workshop will be led by Jared Berghold. Jared is a creative coder who has been making art with code for over 15 years. Jared co-created the interactive artwork Always Coming, Always Going for Vivid Sydney in 2017 and later founded the Creative Coding Studio: www.creativecoding.studio
