School holidays: Creative coding masterclass 12-16yrs
Thursday 17 July from 3pm to 5pm
Unleash your creativity and explore the exciting world of creative coding in this hands-on workshop at the Darling Square Library Makerspace!

This workshop is perfect for young people who wants to experiment with coding in a fun, artistic way—whether you're completely new to programming or ready to take your skills to the next level. By the end of the session, you’ll have a unique, custom artwork to print and take home, showcasing your own digital creativity.

Our experienced facilitator Jared Berghold will guide you through coding to make your very own computer-generated artwork!

A hard copy postcard size (6” x 4”) print of your artwork on photo paper to take home
