“One of the fundamental goals of libraries is to promote literacy in all its forms," said Jessica Cadiente, library director. "At Santa Barbara Public Library, we’re excited to expand our existing technology-related programming through additional hands-on learning opportunities like our Coding Club,” she said. A basic understanding of computational science is important in modern society and has the power to transform individuals from passive consumers of technology to active creators and producers, the library said. Everyone can benefit from the logic, creative thinking, and problem solving skills a background in coding can provide, the library said. Ready to Code is designed to provide libraries with the resources, capacity and inspiration to offer activities that promote computation thinking and computer science to children.
