Programming Games with Witelo: Creative Learning Fun for Children in Jena-Lobeda

At the Ernst-Abbe-Library in Lobeda, a family experience awaits that sparks curiosity and introduces children to the world of programming in a playful way. In the workshop with Witelo e.V., children aged 10 and up discover how to create their own games using Scratch.

Hands-on Programming

This is not about dry theory but about real experimentation. Children create their first processes, learn logical thinking, and experience how ideas transform into small digital games. This strengthens concentration, creativity, and self-confidence.

Ages Appropriate, Child-Friendly, and Without Registration

The workshop is aimed at children aged 10 and up and takes place every Friday from 3 to 4 PM outside school holidays. Participation is free, and no registration is necessary. This makes the entry particularly accessible and family-friendly.

A Learning Place with a Good Atmosphere

The Lobeda district library is established as a public educational space in the city of Jena and is described in current city and smart city concepts as a barrier-free, lifelong learning environment. For families, this means: a calm, familiar place with a focus on education and plenty of room for fun learning.

Why This Family Offer is Convincing

Programming games combines media competence with the joy of discovery. Children learn step by step how digital processes work and experience self-efficacy. For parents, a valuable framework emerges in which learning appears modern, safe, and meaningful.

If you are looking for a free, educationally strong offer for children in Jena, you will find an ideal date for shared learning time here. The workshop invites you to transform your imagination into digital ideas and be there live.
