Futures Lab: Coding Club
- Weekly, Thursdays during term time
- Old Midland Courthouse
Through hands-on workshops, state of the art equipment, and innovative library spaces, our staff aim to foster collaboration to spark imagination and creativity. The Futures Lab provides exciting opportunities for young people to engage with emerging and creative technologies.
Our after-school and holiday programs are designed to empower young people to thrive in a rapidly changing world. In these interactive and collaborative sessions, students can connect with like-minded peers and mentors, sharing ideas and learning from each other as they explore cutting-edge technologies like robotics, sound recording, coding, virtual reality, and 3D printing.
Together, we're building a community of curious and creative problem-solvers who will shape the future.
3D Printers are available at each Library branch.
VR is available during school holidays and at select library branches. Get in touch with us at programs.library@swan.wa.gov.au for more info. Games on offer include:
