About this Event

Want to try coding with a creative, Christmas twist? Come along to our Poetry/Coding workshop with the poet Michael Mullen and our STEM Co-ordinator, Dr Claire Quigley. Inspired by Edwin Morgan’s poem ‘The Computer’s First Christmas Card’, we’ll code our very own festive poem and leave with a handmade Christmas card! There will also be a chance to see some items from the Edwin Morgan collection.

No experience of coding or creative writing necessary.
