Learn coding concepts like elementary schoolers learn them: through interactive games and activities that will get you out of your chair, instead of by watching slides and typing unknown symbols into a text editor. You\u2019ll learn programming concepts such as loops, types, variables, syntax, and if\/then statements that translate to any language. You\u2019ll leave with a list of resources for starting to program in the language best suited for your needs. <\/p>\n

This session is designed for:<\/b><\/p>\n

  • People who think they want to learn code, but need a confidence boost to get them pointed in the right direction<\/li>
    \n
  • If you identify as a \u201cmath hater\u201d and think you could never learn to program, this session will change your mind!<\/li>
    \n
  • Anyone thinking they might have to get code across to others, looking for a new approach. Product managers, we\u2019re looking at you!<\/li><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"start_time":1507201200,"end_time":1507204800,"moderators":[[]],"hashtag":["ONA17code"],"soundcloud":[],"scribble":["2674731"],"viafoura":[],"youtube":[],"vimeo":[],"facebook":[],"trint":[],"slideshare":[],"livestream":[],"resources":["
