We will teach the basics of programming using a block-based programming language  MicroBlocks  and  a  pocket-sized computer micro:bit.  You can apply these skills right away and build some fun projects!  

It's free.  We provide  everything you need: the hardware and laptops. 

No prior programming knowledge is required.  

All age groups are welcome. 

We accept applications on a rolling basis. You can register for the next session on the Register page and we will contact you and invite for the upcoming session.
