Digital Discovery Time with Learning Fun
For families with tech-savvy children, the format offers a child-friendly learning experience, focusing on logical thinking, creativity, and perseverance. Scratch is considered a particularly accessible entry point into the world of programming, as children work directly with visual blocks and quickly see their own results. This enhances curiosity, concentration, and the good feeling of having created something of their own. ([jenakultur.de](https://www.jenakultur.de/de/veranstaltungen/1031786?template_id=5951))
A Place that Welcomes Families
According to the Ernst-Abbe Library, the Lobeda district library is accessible and offers an extensive library service all on one floor. In Lobeda, there is a children's library, learning aids, and STEM materials; thus, the location fits very well for a workshop that combines knowledge, play, and joint discovery.
