Each session is just £3 to reserve, which is fully refundable on completion of the workshop (or you can choose to make it a donation to MadLab). 
<H3>Programming 101</H3>
Wednesday 2nd December Bury Library: 9:30 - 12:30pm Prestwich Library: 2 - 5pm
This workshop is for complete beginners.
Programming 101 is a whistle-stop tour of everything programming languages can do. This practical session will use Python, a language that is beginner-friendly, but still presents enough of a challenge to be interesting (think of it a bit like those bumper lanes at the ten-pin bowling alley). The workshop covers the differences between ‘natural language’ and ‘formal language’, and functions common to nearly all programming languages: data types, inputs and outputs, data structures and loops. You’ll also create your first program!
<H3>Get the Bug for Coding with CodeBug</H3>
Wednesday 9th December  Bury Library: 9:30 - 12:30pm Prestwich Library: 2 - 5pm
This workshop is aimed at programming and electronics beginners.
CodeBug is a fun and engaging entry-level introduction to coding and physical electronics. In just a few clicks you’ll program the versatile little CodeBug computer to display your own message. This workshop will provide an introduction to easy drag-and-drop programming and electronics with CodeBug. You will learn how to create scrolling name badges, animated graphics and touch-responsive Apps.
<H3>Make a Game with Javascript</H3>
Wednesday 16th December  Bury Library: 9:30 - 12:30pm Suitable for complete beginners, although attending Programming 101 first would be advantageous
This workshop aims to use basic programming techniques to build a simple game. Javascript is a great starting language: it is the language of the web, and allows websites to be interactive. Learning Javascript will enable you to make mobile apps, video games, animations, fly drones, control robots and much much more!
