In this workshop, we'll be making a Secret Diary Chatbot. We will teach the computer to help us write and read from a diary and protect it with a password and other fun tricks!

Students don’t need to have any programming experience to come along, we’ve got something for high school aged girls and gender-diverse students of all levels. We’ll cover the basics if you’re new to Python and show you some extra cool stuff if you’re already a programming pro!

Lunch, snacks and computers will be provided for students.

Please use this Humanitix site to sign up!

Also, we want to make sure that we have the right amount of food, please cancel your ticket if you can no longer attend! This also helps us give your spot to another student who might be in the waitlist
