ALA/Grow with Google: Libraries Ready to Code
Hi everyone, ALA and Google announced that they are collaborating on the Libraries Ready to Code<https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/grow-with-google/grow-google-coming-library-near-you/> initiative. I wanted to share this information with you because we've had great success with Grow with Google<https://grow.google/>. Lansing was fortunate enough to be selected as a Grow with Google<https://grow.google/events/lansing/> city in 2018. When they came here, CADL was one of the partnering organizations they worked with to bring digital skills training to students, teacher and business owners. We've used their curriculum and training plans for classes and have had great success. If you have any questions about our experience with Grow with Google, feel free to reach out to me.
