Therefore, this workshop aims to answer questions like “What is programming? Is programming hard?” especially for those without any prior knowledge. This 60-minute workshop exposes you to the fundamentals of computational thinking, a framework to understand a problem, and ways to solve it.Audience: Individuals who are 15 years old and aboveNote: Bring your own laptopYou can book your seats now at no cost.
