Event Details

Introduction to Coding with Python will be held on February 7, February 21, and March 7. In these lessons, students will learn about coding with a beginner-friendly language, Python! Topics such as how to display text, utilize variables, looping through blocks of code, and more will be covered. Students will also have the opportunity to combine all the skills they learn to create a simple text-based game. We will be using the website replit.com, which is a free online coding platform. Students are recommended to sign up on Replit beforehand and bring their own computers if possible. This class is recommended for students ages 10-13.

Please register for each individual session. The program meets on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays from 2-3pm. Information coming soon for topics covered in March-May.
