Step It Out! Week 1

Learn the basic skills and concepts needed for computer coding by watching animated stories and songs, and doing fun activities that are all about using computational thinking to be creative and solve problems. The Wombats’ favorite thing to say is, “Work it out!” That’s what we’re going to do—we’re going to “work it out,” which means solving problems using computational thinking, just like the Wombats!

This 3 week series is all about sequencing, refered to by the Wombats as Step It Out. When children step it out, they create or follow a series of steps for solving problems, accomplishing tasks, or making something. We'll dance and make a music video, create stick puppets, design stuffed animal obstacle courses, and more!

Come learn more about CT, a creative way of thinking that helps children solve problems in more organized ways using a set of skills from computer science. Over the three week program, we’ll do fun hands-on activities, watch Wombats! videos, and listen to stories.  In between the sessions, families will continue the learning at home, using the Work It Out Wombats! Family App, which is designed for adults and children to use together. Each week will build on the last so please try to attend all three weeks.

Recommended Age: Families with kids ages 3-6.
