Digital Storytelling (5 of 5)
2023-07-26 13:00 - 15:00
Finding ways to help your story unfold!
We all have stories, and it’s important that they are told. When telling our stories, we have different ways of going about it. Let’s work together so that each of us can discover new skills and find our own tools to tell our story.

You will work together for 5 weeks, alongside others, to share and develop your very own digital story. Each week we will bring in activities to help participants tell their story the way they want to tell it.

These activities will introduce creative ways to go about telling your story. These will include lots of digital tools that support audio and visual storytelling. When you finish the sessions, you will achieve a Digital Storyteller Certificate that you can add to your resume to show your experience and be part of an online screening of your work.

These sessions are facilitated by Story Finders Heath Birkholz and Maigan van der Giessen from Gateway Association.

Learn Python Series (5/5)
2023-06-29 16:00 - 18:00
Note: Participants must attend all sessions in the series.

Prerequisite: Be comfortable with Scratch or be prepared to watch along as this class will move at a faster pace, has a less visual interface and is more complex comparatively
In this series of workshops, we will advance on the object oriented programming (OOP) and coding fundamentals introduced in Scratch classes. We will begin coding using an actual language instead of the building blocks which are no code/pre-programmed which we’ve used thus far. The Python programming language is an easy to learn language with less restrictive syntax preventing many errors that will trip new learners up.

“The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form for all major platforms from the Python web site, https://www.python.org/, and may be freely distributed. The same site also contains distributions of and pointers to many free third party Python modules, programs and tools, and additional documentation.”

*Note Instructor may/may not be able to help students with technical issues in part due to the virtual environment and not having control over hardware setup. Instructor will be teaching in a Windows environment although Python is available and can be used on Mac, the commands, permissions, and support level available may vary.
