<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Hlk491162062"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">MCLS is looking to begin a new partnership with Vidcode. Vidcode was founded in 2014 and provides an accessible and fun way to learn to code. Focused on 3rd through 12th-grade students,
but great for any age, Vidcode courses are student-led and web-based - no download required. Plus, Vidcode courses were built specifically around what students are interested in coding; students learn to code through creating meme makers, Snapchat filters,
and special effects.</span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk491162062"></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Students can use Vidcode’s courses on their own, like courses from Lynda.com. Or, librarians and educators can lead students through the material using Vidcode’s lesson plans and classroom-in-a-box, created
for non-technical and technical teachers alike. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
