About

In this introduction to coding with Python, you'll control a robot called "the Finch" to do different things like move around, draw shapes, etc.

Once you're familiar with Python, you'll be introduced to Google Teachable Machine and create a machine-learning model to control your robot to do tricks or complete tasks.

Details

  • Ages 10-14.
  • Skill level: Beginner. This is an introductory class for Python coding, but experience with block coding or other kinds of coding is useful.
  • You can bring your own computer (Chromebook or laptop preferred - it must have a camera and/or microphone), or you can borrow one from BARN. When you register, choose "Use BARN computer" or "Bring computer from home."

  • Registration closes Monday, July 15.

Details

  • A $10 materials fee, included in the class cost, covers use of the kits and everything else you'll need.
