The Digital Imagination Workshop Great work! I keep hearing that older people "don't do digital" but my experience is that they DO- if given help and support. Once they "get it" it (literally) opens up the world to them 😀

We're over at Wigan Libraries today for #digitalwiganday. Come and find out about our new microbit loaning scheme and try your hand at coding!

Our first microbit monsters workshop at Wigan Library was a success! Some fab coding and very imaginative monsters 😍 Wigan Libraries
