The Thunder Bay Tech Club supports the ambitions of Canada Learning Code to make coding more accessible and fun for people of ALL ages and backgrounds! Some of us are already mentors, instructors, facilitators and participants - and everyone is welcome to participate. This particular page is designed to provide links and resources to make in-session CLC events even easier to take and enjoy!

Learners will program then play their own version of the Heads-Up! Game using MakeCode or Python, while exploring coding concepts like input, output, loops, variables, arrays, and conditional statements. The workshop includes a learner manual that allows students to work at their own pace with the option of following the facilitator, following a written/video tutorial, or reverse engineering the project independently or in small groups!

The micro:bit is a mini-computer that can do amazing things! Block- or text-based programs can be downloaded and transferred to the physical device, allowing learners to see their digital projects come to life via hardware!
In this workshop, learners will program and design a piece of wearable technology that counts their steps, while exploring coding concepts like input, output, loops, and variables.
The workshop includes a learner manual that allows students to work at their own pace with the option of following the facilitator, following a written tutorial, or reverse engineering the project independently or in small groups!
