For students entering Grades 7 - 9 in Fall 2024
This is a cumulative, three-day workshop. Attendance at all three sessions is recommended.
Coders will be introduced to LightLogo, a microworld where we make a variety of light patterns with only 10 lines of code. This program encourages algorithmic thinking — learning how to express a sequence of things that expresses itself over time.
Requirements: Windows or Mac computer (NO Chromebooks) with USB port. Software download required prior to start of the workshop.
