# Event Details - **Event Name**: Black Boys Code Brampton - Improving and Debugging Projects - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Join us for an exciting workshop designed just for boys aged 8-17! Whether they’re brand new to coding or eager to level up their skills.About this EventWorkshop OverviewOur April workshop takes students beyond building AI projects into the next critical stage of innovation: improving, refining, and scaling intelligent systems. This is where learners experience how real developers work, testing, debugging, and enhancing their creations to make them more accurate, creative, and reliable.Register Now, Space Is Limited!Participants revisit the AI systems they built in March and transform them into more polished, production-ready solutions. It’s an exciting shift from “it works” to “it works better, smarter, and more creatively.”In the Beginner Track, students upgrade their AI-powered Scratch games by identifying and fixing bugs, then enhancing their projects with sounds, scoring systems, costumes, and clear win/lose conditions. They learn how small improvements can dramatically elevate a user experience.In the Advanced Track, students take their Python chatbots to the next level by introducing multi-turn conversations, memory, and branching dialogue paths. Their chatbots evolve from simple responders into more intelligent systems capable of holding richer, more human-like interactions.This workshop reinforces an important lesson: great technology is built through iteration, not perfection.This workshop is FREE, and all learning materials are provided, students simply need to bring curiosity and a willingness to improve and innovate.Beginner Track – AI Game EnhancementThis is where students transform their projects from basic prototypes into engaging, polished games. Using their AI-powered Scratch games from March, learners debug issues and introduce new features that improve both functionality and creativity.Students will explore how real developers enhance user experience by refining performance, fixing bugs, and adding meaningful features.Key ActivitiesUnderstanding what bugs are and why they occurLearning the 5-step debugging strategy (Read, Test, Check, Ask, Google)Loading and reviewing March AI gamesIdentifying and fixing errorsSelecting 3–5 enhancements from an upgrade menuAdding sounds, costumes, scoring systems, and timersCreating clear win/lose conditionsPartner testing and feedbackLearning OutcomesStudents will:Define debugging and identify common coding issuesApply structured problem-solving techniquesEnhance games with sound, visuals, and interactivityUse variables to build scoring systemsDesign clear game logic (win/lose conditions)Test projects and provide constructive feedbackMaterials NeededBlack Boys Code will provide guidance and structured support throughout the session.Laptop with internet accessScratch accountSaved AI games from MarchEnhancement checklistTesting and feedback formsDeliverablesEnhanced AI-powered game with 3+ new featuresBug report and fix documentationAdvanced Track - Chatbots & Conversation DesignStudents evolve their chatbots from simple programs into intelligent conversational systems. Using Python, learners design chatbots that can handle multi-step conversations, remember context, and guide users through different dialogue paths.This is where coding meets real-world AI design, as students begin to understand how assistants, customer support bots, and interactive systems are built.Key ActivitiesUnderstanding dialogue trees and conversation flowLearning how chatbots track context using variablesImplementing nested conditionals for branching conversationsCreating multi-turn conversations (2–3 turns minimum)Adding memory and follow-up question logicDesigning flowcharts for conversation pathsTesting all dialogue branchesPartner testing and feedbackLearning OutcomesStudents will:Understand how conversational AI systems are structuredApply nested conditional logic effectivelyBuild multi-turn, interactive conversation flowsTrack user context using variablesDesign branching dialogue experiencesSystematically test and refine chatbot behaviorMaterials NeededBlack Boys Code will provide guidance and structured support throughout the session.Laptop with internet accessReplit account (free tier)Python chatbot from MarchDialogue-tree planning templatesNested conditional examplesTesting documentation toolsDeliverablesEnhanced chatbot with multi-turn conversationsDialogue-tree flowchartTest-path documentationBug report and fixesIf you’re unsure who your Chapter Leader is, please contact eventsupport@blackboyscode.com to get connected and learn how you can support your local team.Register Now, Space Is Limited! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/617aac40-3037-11f1-b66b-c789a2302db1-rimg-w1200-h599-dc777c79-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brampton/black-boys-code-brampton-improving-and-debugging-projects/100001986592944976 - **Event Categories**: Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fblack-boys-code-brampton-improving-and-debugging-projects-tickets-1986592944976 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brampton - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Sheridan College - **lat**: 43.6560676 - **long**: -79.73886970000001 - **full address**: Sheridan College, 7899 McLaughlin Road, Brampton, Canada ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Black Boys Code (https://allevents.in/org/black-boys-code/22583765) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/9e9f1308da3dbe524c08a85b85f97dd17bfdc4c26594aefc9a053a6a9c9a1b15-rimg-w1200-h600-dc171613-gmir.jpg?v=1775314988 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/3462bc2224e96b4d8df57588b1e95a0b94f618ff1809e9c5f3a46e1883fa71da-rimg-w400-h400-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1775314987 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am (-04:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Sheridan College, 7899 McLaughlin Road, Brampton, Canada - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 CAD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Black Boys Code - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** Workshops - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Black Boys Code Brampton - Improving and Debugging Projects ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Black Boys Code Brampton - Improving and Debugging Projects", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/9e9f1308da3dbe524c08a85b85f97dd17bfdc4c26594aefc9a053a6a9c9a1b15-rimg-w1200-h600-dc171613-gmir.jpg?v=1775314988", "startDate": "2026-04-25T11:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-25T15:00:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brampton/black-boys-code-brampton-improving-and-debugging-projects/100001986592944976", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Sheridan College", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "7899 McLaughlin Road", "postalCode": "L6Y 5H9", "addressLocality": "Brampton", "addressRegion": "ON", "addressCountry": "CA" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "43.6560676", "longitude": "-79.73886970000001" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for an exciting workshop designed just for boys aged 8-17!
