Penn State Extension invites youth in Pennsylvania to participate in a free virtual coding activity.

The activity is part of Pennsylvania 4-H’s summer free trial period, during which youth throughout the state can experience a sampling of 4-H projects through a series of fun and interactive online activities.

A Code Your World session for children ages 5-7 - known as Cloverbuds in 4-H - is planned for 10-11 a.m. Aug. 9. An event for participants ages 8-18 will be held 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Aug. 9.

Participants can learn about coding through a fun science activity. Attendees should use a computer with a stable Internet connection and log into the session using the same computer.

Participants must register for the program by Aug. 8. More information is available at extension.psu.edu.

This opportunity allows youth and their families to try the 4-H program for free and determine if joining is the right decision for them. Participation in the trial does not automatically enroll youth in 4-H.

Administered in Pennsylvania by Penn State Extension, 4-H is a nonformal educational youth-development program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that helps young people develop knowledge and skills to become capable, caring and contributing citizens.
