Check back for more coding events!

If you are interested in being part of our Code Club, join us at any one of our coding workshop that held every 1st and 3rd Saturday at 12:30 pm. If you have any questions about the club, you can talk to our IT/ Youth Librarian at the Dickinson Public Library.

Check out our Teen Calendar of Upcoming Events for date and times.

Coders will be using software (Prenda.co), which will require creating a FREE account. Teens will also have access to Scratch, another open software, but need a free account as well. Prenda is an online platform that allows teens to learn coding through exercises and short videos. This software is made possible by the Friends of the Library, whose mission is to support both the library and community.

This section will help users get sign up for Prenda, a software we use in our Coding Club. If you have questions about accessing Prenda, please email our IT Youth Librarian (storrez@ci.dickinson.tx.us).
