Develop Your Own Games: Programming Fun with Witelo in Lobeda
How does an idea turn into a real computer game? In the workshop Programming Games with Witelo, children aged 10 and up discover the creative world of Scratch at the Lobeda community library. Step by step, their own game ideas come to life – child-friendly, playful, and without pressure to perform.
From Idea to Digital Game
Scratch uses colorful programming blocks that can be intuitively assembled. This allows children to learn the basics of programming without having to memorize complicated commands. Characters move, backgrounds change, and from individual components, their own interactive game grows.
Learning Fun with Educational Value
The family experience combines digital creativity with logical thinking. The children plan processes, try out solutions, and discover how decisions, repetitions, and cause-and-effect relationships work in a program. This age-appropriate learning experience strengthens problem-solving skills, concentration, and independent working.
Collaborative Tinkering in the Library
The Lobeda community library offers a suitable learning environment for curious children and teenagers. Among books, media, and STEM offerings, there is space for children's laughter, wonder, and focused experimentation. No prior knowledge is required to get started with Scratch.
Regular Offerings from witelo e.V.
The workshop is part of the city-wide computer science offerings from witelo e.V.
