Will Library reopened at 9am on Tuesday, April 21

Will Library closed due to an issue with defective electrical equipment. That equipment has since been replaced, passed City of Yonkers electrical inspection, and power has been restored by Con Edison. 

YPL thanks the Mayor's Office, the Department of Engineering, the Department of Buildings and Yonkers Fire Department for their help in resolving this issue. We also thank our patrons for their patience and understanding.

Program Description

Event Details

STEM/Technology

STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 

Register separately for each weekly topic. Students attend all 4 sessions during the week. No prior skills required for workshops.

Scratch 1 & 2

In this engaging coding program, students will explore the different block categories in Scratch and learn how to sequence them to control how characters, objects, and backdrops interact. Depending on the group, students may create short games or animations each day, or work on one multi-level project throughout the week.

If this is a second session with returning students from Scratch 1, we’ll build on the skills learned in week one to create more advanced projects, such as a multi-level platformer game. If it’s a new group, we’ll follow a similar structure to week one, focusing on daily coding challenges.
