'Making Code, Making Things' workshop for our high school girls and gender-diverse students - suitable for beginner coders.
ECU's School of Science is proud to offer this workshop to high school-aged girls and gender diverse students interested in learning more about computing and security. Join us as we explore the capabilities of a micro: bit as we code in python. Create simple actions and games using buttons, LEDs, radios, and accelerometers. Let's add some wires, and other sensors to 'make things!'
