🚀 **Vom Code zum Kosmos: Programmieren lernen mit Python** Programmieren wirkt oft kompliziert. Doch die Grundlagen lassen sich einfacher verstehen, wenn man die Auswirkungen des eigenen Codes direkt sehen kann. In diesem Workshop erhalten Sie einen verständlichen Einstieg in die Programmiersprache Python. Gemeinsam erkunden wir grundlegende Konzepte wie Variablen, Schleifen und Funktionen und lernen, wie Computer Programme ausführen. Anstatt nur Text auf dem Bildschirm zu betrachten, verwenden wir einfache Animationen und Weltraumvideos als Lernwerkzeug. So werden Änderungen am Code sofort sichtbar und die wichtigsten Programmierkonzepte lassen sich intuitiv nachvollziehen. * Was macht ein Computer eigentlich mit einem Programm? * Was sind Variablen, Schleifen und Funktionen? * Wie verändert eine kleine Änderung im Code das Ergebnis? * Wie entstehen aus Programmcode einfache Animationen? Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. Der Workshop richtet sich an alle, die einen ersten Einblick in die Welt des Programmierens erhalten möchten. Am Ende des Workshops werden die Teilnehmenden die Grundstruktur einfacher Python-Programme verstehen, Code lesen und anpassen können und erlebt haben, wie Programmcode sichtbare Ergebnisse erzeugt. Bitte bringen Sie Ihren eigenen Laptop mit und installieren Sie Python vor dem Workshop. Begleiten Sie uns zu einem Abend voller Entdeckungen und erster Schritte in die Welt des Programmierens. In Volketswil heisst es: Ready for launch. 🎟️ Ab 16 Jahren: CHF 25 bei Voranmeldung via [info@volkibrains.ch](mailto:info@volkibrains.ch), CHF 30 an der Abendkasse Bis 15 Jahre: kostenlos 📍 Ort: Stationsstrasse 25a, 8604 Volketswil 📅 Datum: Donnerstag, 25. Juni 2026, 18:00–20:00 Uhr (Türöffnung 17:45 Uhr)

*«The creative and UX industry is changing fast. Roles are shifting, tools are evolving, expectations are rising, and many people are asking what their skills will be worth in the future.»* **This evening is not a classic Last Thursday Talk.** UX Schweiz and Syndicom invite the community to **a workshop and open exchange** for people working in UX, design, research, strategy, communication and related creative fields. The focus is especially on people at the beginning of their careers, people in transition, and everyone currently asking: **What does the future of our work actually look like?** We want to create a space for hopes, concerns, changing roles, useful skills, new tools, AI, career paths and possible forms of support within the community. Uncertainty is allowed, but we do not want to stay stuck in fear. The evening starts with a short input by **[Pascal Geronimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-geronimi-5112b324/).** After that, we will work in small groups: collecting thoughts, clustering topics, discussing what matters most, and sharing key insights. Together, we want to explore: * What currently gives us hope? * What feels uncertain or worrying? * How are roles, tools and expectations changing? * Which skills and mindsets might become more important? * What kind of support could UX Schweiz, Syndicom or the wider community offer? **This is an experimental format.** Because this is a workshop-style event, **places are limited**. Please only register if you are quite sure you can attend. If your plans change, please cancel your RSVP so someone else can join. **Format** * Short intro input * Small-group exchange * Shared takeaways in the plenum * Optional informal drinks afterwards nearby **A small question before you come** You do not need to prepare anything. But take a moment to think about this: ***When you think about the future of your work: what gives you hope, and what makes you unsure?*** **Practical information** • The event will be held in English. • The number of participants is limited. • Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.
