The camp took place last Saturday, September 10, and it was attended by about 12 kids and some parents (the library only has 12 laptops). The instructors, Kevin and Colin, were fantastic. Everything worked out of the box. Our team was present just to make sure that any eventual problems are resolved quickly, but there
Recursion is an advanced programming technique that is known to lead to elegant programs, but whose usefulness is sometimes questionable because most recursive programs can be rewritten easily in a non-recursive manner. The one example where the efficiency of recursion really stands out is traversing binary trees. Therefore we prepared a short video that shows
This Saturday, the Reno Northwest Library is offering the first coding camp for kids with NCLab! Suitable for complete beginners as well as for intermediate and advanced programmers. The camp is open for both kids and adults – recommended age is 10-99 years. Last several seats are available, so hurry! Visit the library page to
