DFYM LEGO® Club

Mini-figures were zipping through the Gilgandra Shire Library at Designs From Your Mind (DFYM) LEGO® Club last week.

Our builders were given the chal- lenge of moving their mini-figure down a zip-line safely, from a height. Our builders put their problem solving skills to the test, coming up with unique methods of travelling safely.

DFYM is a fun program held once a week after school, and is suitable for children aged five-years and over. The number of participants per ses- sion is limited, so bookings are essential.

Scratch Jr programming cards are a great way for kids to explore lessons in coding. They have simple instructions, directing the coder to different commands, backgrounds and characters to use to create an animation.

Tech Club is a fun, free program that runs once a week after school, and is suitable for children aged eight-12 years.
