Python for Teachers: Developing Web Apps with Flask and SQLAlchemy - London

Codio is a learning platform used by computer science educators to teach coding. It combines an online code editor, content creation tools and curriculum-mapped courses for teaching Computer Science at KS3-KS5, developed in partnership with OCR.  And because it is cloud-based, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of setting up a consistent programming environment for your class.

About the Workshop
This free, hands-on workshop will enable participants to create a database driven web application with Flask (a microframework for Python) and SQLAlchemy (a Python SQL toolkit) using a Computational Thinking process.  On completion, participants will be able to teach their students how to create a simple web application using Python, Flask and SQLAlchemy as part of KS3-KS5 curriculum.  
The workshop will cover databases, networks, web applications and GUI aspects of the KS3-KS5 CS curriculum. We will learn how to: 
<UL>
<LI>
Use Flask and SQLAlchemy libraries
