DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar!\r\nLearn the important role your li
 brary can play in supporting young children learning computational thinkin
 g skills through Work It Out @ Your Library!\r\nThis webinar will introduc
 e you to Work It Out @ Your Library! a new program for families in your 
 community, built around Work it Out Wombats! a national PBS KIDS televis
 ion series for 4- to 6-year-olds. Through hands-on activities, library sto
 rytime sessions, animated videos, and a family app, this flexible program 
 helps library staff guide families through the exploration of computationa
 l thinking. Computational thinking is a creative way of solving problems i
 n more organized ways. When children make-believe they are running a resta
 urant, they explore sequencing by figuring out the steps for serving a c
 ustomer a meal. When they play with blocks to make a castle, they can prac
 tice the design process by creating, testing, and improving the structur
 e. Library staff are uniquely suited to promote this learning with their l
 ibrary families. The webinar will cover why computational thinking skills 
 are important for young children, how the free resources have been used to
  run fun and engaging programs in libraries, and how you can too.\r\nPrese
 nted by: Mary Haggerty, Director of Media Engagement, GBH; and Nicki Sir
 ianni, Outreach and Marketing Manager, GBH\r\n \r\n \r\nThis webinar is 
 presented by WebJunction.
