YART meeting [olis-ri.libcal.com]</a> is scheduled for Tuesday, March 12 at the North Kingstown Library. This meeting will focus on computational thinking, which sounds more overwhelming than it actually is. We’ll break computational thinking down into its smallest pieces and practice
some hands-on CT activities that you can try in your library. (Spoiler: like connected learning, CT is something you’re
<i>already</i> doing with teens!) In <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__olis-2Dri.libcal.com_event_4717467-3F-26hs-3Da&d=DwMFAg&c=tSLbvWYfvulPN3G_n48TUw&r=EJvg2ImHvBYuk6hTA3H1QNw0vEMfg_J4wersMgcqJvo&m=ecASGrALtmZqP1aQFVzsNcsT4v-Fs92mDHRFjrOGhUA&s=Kz0Ybog3innwAeslWYCB4uoyfD6q3ux9Q2gRBndG7Ss&e=">
April [olis-ri.libcal.com]</a>, we’ll bring together connected learning and computational thinking to show how they both can be used in designing activities and services.
