Programming Games with Scratch: A Creative Family Moment in Jena

In the Lobeda district library, children aged 10 and above can look forward to a lively introduction to the world of programming. The workshop by Witelo e.V. combines fun learning, curiosity, and personal ideas into a child-friendly family experience with a real Aha-effect.

With Scratch to Your Own Game

This is not about dry theory, but active experimenting. With Scratch, children develop their own game ideas step by step, learn logical thinking, and experience how something of their own emerges from small commands. The course is intended for students from grades 5 to 6 and is led by Nico Bergemann.

A Safe, Manageable Learning Place for Families

The Lobeda district library is accessible on one level and described as a family-friendly learning location. The library operates as a public institution of JenaKultur and offers a child-friendly media world with clearly structured areas.
