## About

A holiday-themed coding hour in the Windsor Woods Programming Room at Windsor Woods Area Library, held for Computer Science Education Week. The playful premise is to stop the Sphero robots from running the grandmas over: children first learn how to program a Sphero robot, then design a reindeer costume for it. No prior Sphero experience is needed, so it works as a first taste of coding for children who have never used one. The program is for ages 8 to 11 and runs one hour on a Monday evening, after school. Registration is not required; just come to the library.
