Join us from 6pm on 19th September for an evening of Ruby and pizza for our first coding event for National Coding Week.

What will I learn?

In this three hour session, you'll understand some Ruby fundamentals and manage to build a workable version of the retro phone favourite snake with a few customisations. Leaving the session, we'll also send you follow up content to help you continue your learning.

What experience do I need?

None! We teach in a way that anyone with an inquisitive nature can learn and have fun. This session may not be incredibly useful if you have a lot of software development experience.

The session will be led by 2 Makers Academy alumni. You'll have opportunity to ask questions throughout the session, though our sessions focus around self-learning and a growth mindset.

What do I need to bring?

You + a laptop.
