The Great Neck Library has launched Fiero Code, an e-learning platform designed to teach coding skills like creating video games, websites, apps, and animations. Accessible online or in-person, Fiero Code offers a gamified, self-paced curriculum for all ages, from kids to adults.
Users can learn programming languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, and Scratch. The platform features gamification elements, including rewards, levels, and customizable robot avatars. Learners embark on a narrative-driven journey to help save Planet Fiero, making coding both fun and educational.
As digital literacy becomes essential, Fiero Code equips patrons with valuable skills for the future. Beyond coding basics, it covers projects involving tools like Makey Makey, Raspberry Pi, Ozobot, and Sphero, catering to diverse interests.
The library will complement the platform with in-person events, including code clubs, boot camps, and code nights, fostering a community of learners and innovators. Participants can also engage in coding competitions, offering a dynamic way to apply and test their skills.
Fiero Code is available through the library’s website at greatnecklibrary.org with a library card. For more information, contact the library at (516) 466-8055. Take your first step into the world of coding and discover the possibilities.
