Girls Into Coding #6 - Join us & Get involved!

Girls into Coding(GIC)  is a not-for-profit organisation, a Community Interest Company (CIC). We are a mother(Helene) and daughter(Avye, 16) run social enterprise. GIC provides learning opportunities for girls between the ages of 10 and 14. We’ve created workshops and education events to immerse young people in a range of STEM activities. STEM is an educational programme developed to prepare young students for further education in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM also aims to encourage inquiring minds, logical reasoning, and collaboration skills.We are driven to create opportunities to engage girls to consider STEM education and careers through hands-on workshops and events.

I am delighted to invite you to "Girls Into Coding #6! It's a free event, delivering 4 exciting workshops and lightning talks, to help inspire & encourage girls aged 10 -14 to get involved in tech.
At Girls Into Coding, you will be able to explore coding, 3D printing, electronics and physical computing using the Raspberry Pi & the BBC Micro: bit (tiny computers), This is a fantastic opportunity to use JavaScript Blocks (Block based language) or Python (text-based language) and to get some hands-on making & crafting time in a creative and tech setting.
 
WORKSHOPS:
Workshop#1: Build a hand-held camera We'll put together a Raspberry Pi, mini-screen and a few buttons. Add a camera module. We'll program your camera to take pictures and review images. Add enhanced features, like time-lapse!
  
Workshop#2: Build & code a robot First, we’ll assemble a mini robot still in its prototype stage. Then add sensors, wheels, mechanical parts, and other electronic components.  We’ll also code it to do a bit of exploring.  At the end of the workshop, you’ll also get a chance to offer your feedback and ideas on how the robot could be developed or improved. 
 
 
Workshop#3: Introduction to 3D Design, 3D Scanning & 3D Printing A hands-on workshop using 3D design software. The main focus will be on establishing the basic skills needed for 3D modeling. Please bring your own storage device (USB, SD card or portable hard-drive) to save your work.
 
 
Workshop#4: Make your own light-up accessory! Create your own sparkly accessory with LEDs and conductive thread, and learn all about the science of electricity, the basics of sewable circuits and conductivity.
