Join us for an introduction to BBC BASIC Programming. This is a language no longer used in today's gaming world, but the fundamentals of programming have not changed, making this workshop still very relevant today. Indeed, there are many similarities between BBC BASIC and modern languages like Python.
Come and be introduced to our robot 'staff' member, Jennifer! There will be a short talk on Robotics - the past, present and future - followed by a robotics demo that will end with Jennifer doing a bit of Tai-Chi (depends on her mood, of course!).
All ages welcome; ideally suited to ages 6+
Python is everywhere! It's the world's most popular programming language used in data science, AI and web development. It's also capable of making games, and due to the "readability" of Python, it's relatively easy to do.
In this workshop we'll start off with some fundamentals of coding before making a game. Some experience with coding would be beneficial, and be ready for lots and lots of typing!
