Description:
Let's Code Blacksburg continues their Kids Series with the event Parallel Programming with Pictures for ages 11-14 on Monday, August 7, 2017 at Torgersen Hall room 1100 on the campus of Virginia Tech.

The program will be led by Dr. Wu Feng, the Director SyNeRGy Laboratory at Virginia Tech.

At this three hour, hands on programming kids workshop we're going to use a programming interface called Snap! to program the various microprocessor brains in your laptop so they will work together at the same time to control graphics, games and more! (rather than serially, i.e., one brain at a time) on programs you write by dragging and dropping code in place.

If you have never done coding, that's fine. Some join us and learn the basics. If you like game programming or have ever used Scratch, you should definitely come take this workshop with us. Parallel programming with Snap takes the idea of graphical programming (as with Scratch) to the next level!

The program is designed for ages 11-14, but older kids are welcome too.

All participants MUST RSVP (link below) and bring a web and javascript-browser enabled laptop.

Note: Attendees under 16 must have parental supervision. No under the age of 16drop offs!
