Text-based Programming (Python 1: Introduction)
The Python programming language is the next level beyond Scratch and is used extensively as an introduction to coding. Its syntax is simple and it has some very powerful features built into the language. It offers great flexibility in application, from games to websites. This workshop will focus on a mix of Python basics and mathematical algorithms. The basics will then be used to build a more complex application. Participation in Computational Thinking, Scratch 1&2 is highly recommended (but not essential) before attending this workshop.
