Course Description:

Every day, most of us interact with technology that runs a computer program
in some aspect. This workshop is designed to introduce students to the
concepts of computer programming. In this hands-on, interactive workshop,
students will learn a wide variety of computer programming concepts such as
variables, conditional statements, loops, and functions. Students will
learn how to program in a textual programming environment to create
dynamic, visual, and interactive models that can run on the Web.
Structure of Activities:

Participants will learn by doing; they will be given demonstrations of
coding practices and then work to complete the activities on their own
computer with help from the remote instructors. Every workshop session and
all communication will be held through Zoom.
Facilities and Equipment:

All activities will take place online. Participants will need access to a
laptop or desktop computer with Internet access. Also, participants will
need to download the following free programs and make sure they can run on
their computer prior to the start of the workshop:

  *   Zoom ( https://zoom.us/ )
  *   Google Chrome Browser ( https://www.google.com/chrome<
