Come and get an introduction to computer coding with Python in the Digital Commons @IC, with our new events we are running in May.

Whatever subject you might be studying, learning some coding can give you some fantastic transferable skills.

• Boost and develop your problem-solving skills
• Enhance your data literacy
• Unlock your creativity & innovation
• Better understand the digital world (even with AI!)

We will be using the very widely adopted Python language. Python is a great language to learn because:

• It's easy to learn
• Python skills are in high demand
• It is used across a very wide range of disciplines - everything from humanities, economics and data science, to web development, robotics and AI. It is also used to power large social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and many more

In May, we are running some new sessions to help you get started. You don't need to have any experience at all, as these are aimed for complete beginners

Introductory course

This will be a taught session where we will introduce you to many of the core concepts in coding, with practical examples for you to try as you learn. 

You can book on here:

Wednesday 7th May 2 - 4 pm

Coding Club

For people who prefer to jump in and work through self paced tutorial exercises, we will provide an informal environment for you to come and work alongside others, and we will have facilitators there to help out

You can book on here:

Wednesday 14th May 2 - 4pm

Wednesday 21st May 2 - 4pm

These sessions are all standalone - there is no prerequisite for you to attend any one before the other, and you can attend some or all in any order you wish

Booking is essential as numbers will be limited. The sessions will take place in the Digital Commons, Room 1.20 in the Information Commons. Please bring a laptop if you have one, or we can lend you one on the day.
