Ready to Code is an initiative of the American Library Association, sponsored by Google, which aims to ensure libraries have the resources, capacity, and inspiration to embrace activities that promote computational thinking (CT) and computer science (CS) among
our nation’s youth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ALA is accepting grant proposals of up to $25,000 to join a cohort of libraries that will 1) implement CT or CS programming for and with youth via their library; and 2) collaboratively develop a Ready to Code toolkit with the goal of enabling
any library, regardless of geography, expertise, or affluence to deliver programming that promotes computer science and computational thinking among youth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Proposals are now being accepted. Review the <a href="http://www.ala.org/tools/sites/ala.org.tools/files/content/readytocode/rtc_rfp_july_17.pdf">request for proposal</a>.<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Eligibility and Selection Criteria<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Selection criteria is aligned with the Ready to Code vision that libraries play a critical role in increasing access and exposure to CS opportunity, changing perceptions of who can code and inspiring all youth to pursue CS education by
connecting coding to individual interests. <a href="http://www.ala.org/tools/sites/ala.org.tools/files/content/readytocode/eligibility_criteria_rtc.pdf">Read more about the criteria</a>. <o:p></o:p></p>

a competitive grant program sponsored by Google</span></a> to fund a cohort of school and public libraries to develop resources to help get U.S. libraries "Ready to Code.” The $500,000 pilot program is part of Phase III of Libraries Ready to Code, an ongoing
collaboration between ALA and Google to ensure expert library professionals are prepared to develop and deliver programming that promotes computer science and computational thinking among youth, two skills that will be required for challenges and jobs of the
future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
