IN-PERSON Girls into Coding!

The Good Hotel London

GIRLS! THE TECH COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU! THIS EVENT IS ORGANISED ESPECIALLY FOR YOU! COME AND JOIN US AND GET INVOLVED!

I am delighted to invite you to our IN-PERSON "Girls Into Coding " event! It's a free event. Choose 1 of 4 exciting workshops. There will also be lightning talks to inspire & encourage girls aged 11 -14 to get involved in tech. Each participant can only book one workshop because they will run simultaneously.

You will be able to explore coding activities, robotics, engineering, electronics, and physical computing using the Raspberry, the Micro: bit, 3D VR. This is a fantastic opportunity to use Python, Micropython (text-based language), and Microsoft Makecode while getting some hands-on making time.

IF YOU BOOK MORE THAN ONE TICKET PER PARTICIPANT, YOUR BOOKING WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED.

THE 4 WORKSHOPS BELOW WILL RUN SIMULTANEOUSLY - THEREFORE EACH PARTICIPANT SHOULD ONLY BOOK ONE WORKSHOP.

PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER YOUR DAUGHTER FOR A WORKSHOP SHE HAS ALREADY PARTICIPATED IN OR YOUR TICKET WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELED.

WORKSHOPS:

Workshop #1: Automated Refill Machine: Tech for Tomorrow's Circular Economy (Age 11-14)

This workshop will get you thinking about the circular economy by exploring how technology can be used to reduce waste & the reliance on single-use plastic.

You will link everyday electronic components with a microcontroller - apply some coding principles to build a scaled-down automated refill station for household products - something that may influence how we buy more of our products in the future.

The girls must be between 11 and 14 to attend this workshop

Workshop #2: Autonomous car using Ai (age 12-14)

You may have heard a lot about self-driving cars recently. But how can you make a car drive itself? The answer is Artificial Intelligence or AI. In this workshop, construct a model car and then teach it to drive on a road using machine learning.

The girls must be between 12 and 14 to attend this workshop

Workshop #3: Exploring Motors & Sound using the Microbit! (For Ages 11 to 14)

A super fun activity to measure volume and display it with a motor. We’re going to be doing some basic Python programming in this activity. You also have the opportunity to use the make code block-based programming language. So whatever your level, you have lots of options!

Workshop #4: Physical Computing with Circuit Playground Express (age 11-14)

Use capacitive touch to make music with the Circuit Playground Express and a DIY cardboard keyboard, and code musical tones onto the board using Adafruit Makecode.

Experience: Beginners are welcome!
