IT was a thrill for 30 children to learn about basic coding at the Penang Digital Library in Jalan Mesjid Negri.

During the two-hour programme, the kids, aged between seven and 15, from the Padang Kota constituency were seen keenly taking part in the activity which required them to issue instructional commands to get to the next level on the laptop computers.
