DigiFest – Norfolk Libraries

DigiFest is an annual celebration of digital creativity in Norfolk libraries throughout February. With free events for children and young people aged up to 16, there is something for every aspiring digital mind.

Aiming to inspire the next generation of coders and creators, DigiFest forms part of Norfolk County Council’s digital inclusion strategy and helps hundreds of children develop essential skills, build confidence and have fun.

Next month, over 100 free events will take place across Norfolk’s 47 libraries. Children and young people are being encouraged to try their hand at stop-motion animation, learn basic coding skills with different robots, create with 3D pens, and more.

Special sessions run by partners include: Lego™ robotics sessions with ICT Solutions, Norfolk’s experts in introducing children to new technology; in Thetford and Great Yarmouth libraries, Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies are hosting cyber security escape rooms for 12-16-year-olds; in Norwich, global digital transformation provider UST will run a workshop on virtual reality.

DigiFest runs from 1-28 February, with many of the events and activities falling in half-term week. All events are free, but most require pre-booking – find out more at norfolk.gov.uk/digifest
