The West Australian authors spoke about their lives as writers and their work in what was an insightful and often lively discussion. The discussion centred very much around their latest biographies on Australian artists Kathleen O’Connor and Nora Heysen and looked at their similarities, differences, and challenges. Amanda and Anne-Louise shared their intimate knowledge of both women and how family, colleagues, and times impacted on their work and lives.
Code Club is a nationwide network of volunteer-led coding clubs with a mission to #getkidscoding! We are aiming to give every child the skill, confidence and opportunity to shape their world.
The program is aimed at kids aged 8 – 15 years of age who advance through a series of coding languages:
- Scratch – a simple block-coding program which allows users to build animations and games while learning the fundamentals of coding.
- HTML/CSS – allows users to develop their understanding while building web pages and online content from the ground up.
- Python – this highly versatile programming language allows users to use their understanding and creativity to build Apps and complete web sites.
- Blender – coders can build 3D animations and games, creating 3D characters and developing their own movies and stories.
Code Club is project based learning, aligned with the National Digital Technologies Curriculum and provides kids with the opportunity to collaborate, create, communicate and problem solve! We celebrate our errors and embrace them as a chance to learn.
