Talking tech
and libraries
with Google
Did you know that
Google has a dedicated program manager
just for their initiative
to support libraries in
providing computer
science education programs for youth? Or
that Google offers support to librarians for
providing access to CS
education for all students and changing
perceptions of CS and computer scientists?
Libraries Ready to Code collaborators from
Google offer valuable resources and insight
related to technology and digital literacy in
three different sessions:
"Start your library's coding club with
Google's CS First and other free resources"
Saturday, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m.
Interested in offering a computer science
program at your library? Join a team from
Google to learn about free resources to support librarians in facilitating activities for

animation, and more. Speakers: Hai Hong,
program manager, CS Education; Nicky Rigg,

thinking are becoming increasingly essential for economic and social mobility, yet
access to these skills is not equitable. Join
