Tech-N-Treat event brings tech, and fun, to kids in Raleigh

Witches, superheroes, and a tarantula – oh my! On Saturday Uniting NC staff and alums from Code the Dream shared coding with children at Tech-N-Treat in Raleigh, NC. Students went around to different booths to play games while earning stickers for their ‘passports’ and a few pieces of candy. Code the Dream had two games for the children to play: Cargo-Bot and RoboZZle. Each game had an element of fun but required kids to think like programmers trying to come up with efficient solutions to problems.

It was great having CTD alums Katherine and Cynthia share their love for coding with the next generation. We were proud of our women-led team at the event, particularly with so many girls there who were enthusiastic about programming and engineering. We were also happy to meet so many diverse families looking to give their children a head start toward embracing tech!

Thank you Google Fiber for hosting this wonderful event. We cannot wait to see what these bright young minds take away from this interactive experience with science and technology!

For our final question: Based on the ideas we’ve explored today, what ways do you plan to start (or continue) using technology to build a better future for everyone? How will you connect with your neighbors, your local businesses, and your local government? #CTDxTCE

Last week

Even with the ability to connect with people all across the world, digital communication still has its drawbacks, as described by @STurkle in her 2012 @TEDTalks entitled "Connected, but alone?" #CTDxTCE ted.com/talks/sherry_t…
