Digital Making
Times: 1hr workshops at 10:15am, 11:30am, 1pm & 2:15pm

Come along to a taster session to get hands-on with coding, with interactive activities run by computing education charity, The Raspberry Pi Foundation. You can get started with coding using Scratch and Micro:bit, explore AI and build your own AI classifier, and even send your code to space! Activities are available for all levels and there will be plenty of information and resources to help you keep coding at home.
