Whether you're interested in building the classic Snake Game or a fun Guessing Game, this hands-on session will introduce you to the basics of coding.\\n\\nThroughout this interactive workshop, kids will dive into Python programming—one of the most popular and beginner-friendly coding languages. We’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of designing and coding your very own game, learning key programming concepts like loops, conditionals, and user input. By the end of the session, kids will have their own playable game to share with friends and family!\\n\\nThis program is perfect for young creators who are curious about coding or want to learn how to make their own digital projects. No previous experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and problem-solving skills!\\n\\nPlease note that while this is a drop-in event, it is recommended to register so we have can estimate the amount of laptops needed for all participants to be able to code. Registration will close 1 day prior to the program.
