How to Organize a Showcase (Show & Tell) Event
Music programs are always practicing for a concert. We have the same idea in code club, but we call them showcase events.
A showcase event is simply an opportunity for coders to share projects they’ve been working on with friends and family.
Showcase events are going to:
- Give coders something to work towards.
- Inspire coders to keep progressing by seeing what their friends are making.
- Provide an opportunity for parents to feel connected.
This guide will make it easy for you to organize and execute a showcase event.
