About the Event

Coding workshops for 11-12 yr olds using the very popular programming language Python!

Python is one of the most popular programming languages in recent years (the others are Java and C, based on this statistic https://spectrum.ieee.org/top-programming-languages-2022) which means Python developers are in high demand in the IT industry )

Schedule of workshop times ( online booking essential)

Python's syntax (like grammar) is shorter than Java and similar to but simpler than C which makes Python a more straightforward language to start with for beginners. Python is versatile and can be used in-app, software, web development, and most trending areas as AI (Artificial Intelligence), Data Science & Analysis!
