Details
** Here's why Raspberry Pi / Microbit / MakeyMakey are great for learning to code **
Matt will begin by sharing his experience of teaching young people to write code using Raspberry Pi, Microbit, and MakeyMakey, and how these tools let people learn to code in a simple, fun and accessible way. We'll see these devices in action and what coding them looks like. Following his talk, Matt will then help attendees to get "hands-on" with coding some simple programmes on these devices.
Come and see these awesome devices in action and get a taste of how to code them!!!
