Description
Python is a programming language: a tool for humans to communicate with the computer and with other humans! Python is very practical, and is taught in thousands of schools and universities. It is great for building web apps, video games, manipulating data, and more!
In this workshop, we’ll leverage Python as a visual arts medium. We’ll explore coding concepts like loops, variables, and lists, while experiencing an example lesson that you can use with your own students. You'll have the opportunity to practice your Python skills and use the Turtle library to create your own work of generative art. Join us to experience how small changes to your code can have a huge visual impact!
This session may be applied to grades 7-9.
Prerequisites:
None! This workshop is designed for beginners.
