Learn to Code with Python Virtual Workshop February 16
February 16, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
With hundreds of programming languages available, how do you know where to start? Python is one of the most widely used and easy-to-learn programming languages. Python is used for a range of purposes: simple games that you can create in less than an hour to dynamic websites that take months and years to complete.
In this Zoom workshop, you’ll learn the basics of Python and create your very own coding activity! This workshop is open to students of any age who have very little or no experience writing code.
