Description
Python is an open-source coding language that allows us to speak to our computers through step-by-step instructions, and then be able to see (or hear!) the computer's response. Python can be used to communicate anything from a simple mathematical equation, to an interactive game. We will use repl.it, a free, cloud coding environment, to make our programs come to life.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, we'll cover essential terms in the Python language such as: integers, strings, and variables - all while focusing on how an everyday computer operates and understands input. You'll have the opportunity to practice your Python skills through building a safe password generator, and will leave with some online safety tips!
Prerequisites:
None! This workshop is designed for beginners.
