About Youth Action and Arts Space (YAAS): YAAS is a free, drop-in program that offers youth who are 10 to 14 years old a fun place to connect, meet friends and new peers. Collectively, we strive to create a safer, supportive, and inspiring space where everyone – from facilitators to participants – can bring their full selves into the space, feel celebrated and continue to develop and strengthen their skills in self-expression.

About Hackergal: Hackergal explores the exciting world of coding and technology. With a variety of fun programs, challenges, and supportive community, Hackergal helps girls, gender-diverse, non-binary, and two-spirit learners build skills, confidence, and friendships while shaping their future in STEAM to create, innovate, and break barriers.

The Youth Action and Arts Space will be visited by Hackergal's Intro to Block-Based Coding on Saturday, September 27! It is an interactive virtual workshop that utilizes Scratch's coding platform to teach youth the basics of block-based coding including character and background design, movement and storytelling.

This workshop will be a hybrid format. Participants will come to The 519 in-person and receive virtual facilitation.
