Hedy is a programming language that aims to teach textual programming to kids. Hedy's unique approach involves gradual changes in the syntax of the programming language, so students are not overloaded with information right away. This devroom is aimed at students from 9 to 12 years old, but anyone with a desire to start learning programming (or teaching) with text based language is welcome. You'll need your own laptop (no installs needed, Hedy is webbased) and reading- and basic typing skills (or someone to help you read and type). No prior programming experience is needed. When you have finished all 18 levels of Hedy, you know the basics of Python.

Get ready to dance to the beat of the microcontroller! In this session you'll learn the basics of live music production with MicroBlocks and you'll be creating your own beats in no time.
