[CASL-L] $300 grants for libraries for CS Education Week

[Powe, Kymberlee]

Hello Library Friends,
Google is sponsoring $300 grants for libraries to host 2 CS First activities and the applications for funding are open now!

"In advance of Computer Science Education Week<https://csedweek.org/> (CSEdWeek), an annual event to get students excited about coding, ALA will be awarding $300 mini-grants to school and public libraries that facilitate a program for youth during Computer Science Education Week<https://csedweek.org/>, December 9-15, 2019, using Google's CS First Hour of Code activity."

You can read all about it on the Ready to Code website<http://www.ala.org/tools/readytocode/minigrant> http://www.ala.org/tools/readytocode/minigrant and please consider applying. The deadline is November 18th but I promise the application is straightforward and I hear the activity this year is a lot of fun (Code your Hero).

The $300 can be used for anything in the spirit of supporting computational thinking activities for your teens- so you can be as creative as you like!

Best of luck.

Best,
Kym
