There are lots of fun things to do at Leeds Dock for all the family include the Royal Armouries which is free to visit.

Beginning to code in Processing

Processing is one of the best languages for beginners. It is one step up from Scratch which many kids may have encountered at school already. Processing lets you get your hands on the code itself - changing the variables and setting up loops, functions and other control structures.

In this lesson, children will learn how to write code to:

- draw graphical objects

- move them around the screen;

- add dynamic text and colours

- create simple interactions

The artists will add their own creepy crawly flavour to the workshops with twitching beetles, flapping butterflies and wriggling worms.

The results will be emailed to each participant.

We look forward to seeing you!
