Do you have a child or student at home with the sniffles? Home but not sick enough for bed? @KidsCoding is holding daytime online coding workshops for kids (and parents!) needing a couple hours of edutainment 🥳 Beginner friendly! bit.ly/KCJevents

Join KCJ to watch the film Coded Bias! A great opportunity to explore how human bias turns into AI bias.

Code Club had one busy summer! During our virtual clubs, we got to code with hundreds of kids from all over the country. Thank you to all of the coders who joined us! Let's keep coding and creating together 💚

Day 9 of #GettingUnstuck @ScratchEdTeam @scratch was inspired my my putting off a shopping trip. The #coding #challenge today was to make and use a #list. The biggest challenge was getting the correct fruit to show up! Check it out!scratch.mit.edu/projects/412…

🚧 When we think of construction, coding isn't the first skill that comes to mind but check out this example of coding in unexpected places! Showcasing how computational thinking skills prepare our kids to be successful in ANY industry is why we do what we do.#codecreateplay 🏗️
We had the best time partnering with @KidsCoding and @TradeUpMB for our first Coding Camp together! We hope our participants had the best time and we can't wait for more partnerships like this! #CareerTrek #CareerTrekStories #TradeUpManitoba #KidsCode #CodingCamp #MCSC

It was an absolute pleasure to facilitate this session today. So proud to work with the whole team at KCJ! @KidsCoding #kids2030
We were honoured to have @aliehsassi, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, join our virtual Code Club today! Through #CanCode’s support, we’re able to give kids across Canada access to the tech skills they need. @ISED_CA @kidscoding

We’ve chosen a gem for today's #CuratorBattle! This ornate Cantonese headdress is lavishly decorated with multicoloured rhinestones and flower-shaped wire ornaments. Framing each side are fringes of golden beads, augmented by long, jewelled tassels. How’s this for #BestBling?
