Coders Club - April 6
Saturday, April 6, 5:00-7:00 pm
$5, pizza dinner included. Grades 6-8.
Experiment with programming graphics in Python. You’ll see how the code for colors, screen coordinates, smooth drawing, loops, and basic animation works with examples using the popular pygame module. This class will dive a little deeper into code than usual, so some experience with Python will be helpful, but not required. Led by Matt Lavoie, a computer science instructor with more than 30 years of experience.
