The Wellington Skills Development Initiative is hosting an introductory course on coding and robotics.
This includes coding, digital story telling and robotics on 19 August at the Wellington SOS school hall from 09:00 to 11:00
The course will help those interested in this ever growing medium what the basic principals and workings of these digital platforms are.
Coding is the process of using a programming language to get a computer to behave how you want it to. Every line of code tells the computer to do something, and a document full of lines of code is called a script.
Unlike people, computers will do exactly what you tell them to. This may sound great, but it can cause problems. If you tell a computer to start counting upwards, and don’t tell it to stop, it’ll keep counting forever!
Being a good programmer is all about knowing how to tell a computer to act.
