Coding and Robotics Workshops

Game Development with Java and Greenfoot:
Ages 11-17
Learn by creating games in the Java programming language!
This Workshop uses gaming as a fun way to learn key computing concepts and coding basics. Students will use Java to build their own games, developing the confidence to apply their new-found coding skills within the Java framework. No previous coding knowledge is required. The skills learned will give students what they need to take their studies in computer science to the next level.


Engineering with micro:bit:
Ages 9-12
Experience a handheld, programmable micro-computer than can be used for all kind of creations.
Students will be introduced to the Micro:bit ' a tiny programmable computer that can help to teach children the basics of coding in a fun, engaging and tactile way. They will learn how to use electronic components such as microprocessors, motors, switches and LEDs to create individually designed projects such as keyboard instruments, temperature sensors or just about anything else they are able to imagine.


Coding with micropython:
Ages 12-14
Get a head-start on one of the world's most in-demand programming languages.
Students will use MicroPython to control hardware. They will work through a number of 'stations' where they use the Micro:bit to control addressable neopixels, create music, send messages from one Micro:bit to another, and much more! The simplicity of the Python programming language makes MicroPython an excellent choice for beginners who are new to programming and hardware.
