This is a very special session delivered by the one and only Margaret Low!
Margaret founded the Technology Volunteers in 2007, aiming to bridge the digital divide between the North and South of Coventry through the University. It's thanks to her that this project has made the impact that it has.
TurtleStitch is a programming language very similar to Scratch, consisting of putting colourful blocks together. However where Scratch is commonly used to create games, TurtleStitch is used to create patterns. In this session, Margaret will run through the basics of TurtleStitch, showing how simple shapes can be combined to create beautiful patterns. Additionally you will get to create your own patterns, and Margaret will bring a Sewing Machine which will allow you to print your patterns onto a piece of fabric in a colour of your choosing. The project is so thankful for everything Margaret has done for us, so it would be great for you to come along and show your support!
When: 2pm-3pm on Wednesday 26th November
Where: IMC1.04
You don't need to have come to any prior training sessions to attend this one.
We are a fun and inclusive volunteering group that offer Scratch lessons to primary school pupils across Coventry.
Our aim is to encourage children to become creators, rather than consumers, of technology. Students/staff from all disciplines are welcome to join, so no prior knowledge of coding is required! We will be training all of our volunteers in Scratch during Term 1, and then visiting schools in Term 2.
