Coding for Kids (signup required)
We all run on code. Life runs on code. Introduce your kids to the wonders of coding by joining 12-year-old Ari Hunt in Coding for Kids.
This is an introduction to coding using freely available tools your kids can start using right now in the browser. Ari will walk them through the basics, set them exercises and help them learn the same fundamental concepts that we all use in our professional development careers today.
This session is suitable for any kids who can use a browser and type, although parental assistance may be needed for younger children. The only prerequisites are a laptop and an appetite to slay ogres with code.
This workshop is for kids. Signup required -> https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/coding-for-kids-with-ari-and-troy-hunt-ndc-melbourne-2022-tickets-360388079447
