Join the UTS Competitive Coding Organization for an introduction to Python, one of the most popular programming languages in the world. By the end of the workshop, you will have implemented the Sieve of Eratosthenes, an ancient algorithm for finding prime numbers.

Hidden Code

Hackergal

Learn how to use text-based code with Hackergal! Coding can be colourful, creative and full of surprises! Learn how to code 'easter eggs' in your project to keep users guessing.

We'll show you how to leverage this skill in games, stories, or anything you're coding!

Video Game Design

Girls Make Games

Learn what goes into designing and building a video game, and create your own to play with friends!

Printable Coffee Mugs

3D Design Club

Robotics: Light Show

MakerKids

The Arduino is a prototyping microcontroller popular with both hobbyists and professionals. Kids learn to use a breadboard to wire up circuitry the Arduino can connect to, and then to program their robot to interact with their lights and switches creating their very own customized light show.

Phidgets

Using your very own Phidget kit, build a circuit and control it using block coding techniques.

Robotics: Robotic Pets

MakerKids

Using the Microbit microcontroller, kids learn the basics of controlling electricity while making robots into their own interactive pets. For more experienced makers the functionality they can add to what their pet can do grows increasingly complex.
