We will be offering a second series of our online Discover programming workshop. 

Discover Programming is a 7 session course that teaches fundamentals in programming through Python and Processing. In these sessions, students will develop an understanding of basic concepts such as variables, lists, loops, functions, drawing shapes, etc. Near the end of the program, students will get the chance to create their own project with the knowledge that they have gained over the entirety of the course and with help from mentors as well. As mentioned, the tools that will be used for this course will be Processing and Python which can both be downloaded online for free for both Windows and Mac OS.
The workshop will run on Wednesday nights from May 26 to July 7, Registration will open on the 7 of May please register here.
