Coding For Girls at the i360!
Andrew Riley-Watson
A summary
Hello everyone!
This February half-term we're partnering up again with the i360 in Brighton to offer exciting coding workshops in the spectacular Attenborough Room, whilst upstairs you can try the insanely thrilling WALK 360 open-air walk on TOP of the i360 at 138 metres up! That's only at 12pm on Mon/Tues/Wed, so our 0930-1130 coding workshop finishes in time for you to step upstairs to that.
Link to book your Walk 360 below.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 1430 we have Coding For Girls, where we welcome girls, non-binary and gender variant young people to come and get into coding and electronics
You'll learn about the gender gap in computer science in the UK, why it's a problem, and how you can help fix it. You might also learn about important female figures in computer science.
We will be giving a simple two-hour introduction to some basic electronics, connecting them to Raspberry Pi computers and programming them using the Python programming language. We'll then use what we've learned to control the Minecraft game. You'll use industry-standard coding environments and methods, learning from people who do this every day!
If you're aged 9 or older, you'll probably manage this. If you're younger, you might need some help with all the typing. We move along pretty fast, and the last thing we want is to put off our younger coders. So, 9 and up usually works well.
We usually have 12 spots available per two-hour session. The last time we did this at the i360, it was extremely popular, so grab a spot while you can.
We've run these workshops before, but this time we're adding a bit of electronics and fully updated coding exercises.
