The Fernley Branch Library will be hosting a Basic Computer Skills class and a Coding Club for
kids ages 8-12 in October.
The Basic Computer Skills will be held every Thursday starting Oct. 2 at 10 a.m. The class is for
beginners and adults and will teach the basics step-by-step. Topics include using the mouse and
keyboard, organizing files and folders, browsing the Internet and email.
No experience is needed, and the class is open for drop-ins with no registration required.
Students in the Youth Coding Club for Kids will learn to code with Scratch to create their own
games, animations and interactive stories.
Registration is now open and the class starts Saturday, Oct. 11 from 2-3 p.m.
Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a
simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games and animations.
Both programs are funded by an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant,
administered by the Nevada State Library Archives and Public Records.
