Entry level Programming

Date and time:

25th of October, 19:00-20:00
15th of November, 19:00-20:00
6th of December, 19:00-20:00

Requirements and preparations:

  • A computer with a web browser, preferably Chrome / Firefox
  • A separate computer/iPad with Zoom installed to follow the class.

One day before the class, information regarding the Zoom-meeting and what page we use will be published in the Wechat-group for the course.

Description of class:

We will go through a basic introduction of what programming is and where we can find it in everyday things. In addition we will talk about basic concepts in programming like loops (while) and conditionals (if-else) without going deep into techincal details.

Every class will start with simple theory, followed by everyone coding in the web browser using blocks for codes instead of writing actual code. This makes it possible for younger kids to participate as they are not required to type on a keyboard, but instead drag blocks around.

Me, as the instructor will do the tasks in a slow pace and explain all my thinking, and students can choose to be faster than me or follow along.

Since the level of students vary, some will be quicker than others. This is completely natural and those who need the most guidance I usually spend extra time with at the end of the class so they get to finish the tasks.

Questions?

You can ask me in the Wechat group, or directly in Wechat.
