# Event Details - **Event Name**: Black Boys Code Gwinnett County - Think Like a Coder: Your First Algorithm - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 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 OverviewWorkshop OverviewKick off the new technology year with an exciting hands-on LEGO Robotics experience! Students will build on their robotics and coding skills through practical challenges using LEGO SPIKE Prime.Beginners will strengthen their understanding of sequencing, motors, and programming as they build and code moving robotic machines. Advanced learners will take on more challenging engineering concepts, exploring robot subsystems, gears, decomposition, and real Python programming.Whether returning from last year or joining the program for the first time, students will have the opportunity to build, code, test, debug, and bring their robotic creations to life.Beginner Track - Robotics & SequencingStudents will explore how instructions control robotic systems and learn why the order of commands matters. Through hands-on activities, they will connect motors to the SPIKE Prime Hub, create coding sequences, and build and program a moving robotic machine.Beginner Track Learning OutcomesIdentify the main components of a LEGO SPIKE Prime kit.Understand sequencing and why the order of coding instructions matters.Connect and control motors using the SPIKE Prime Hub.Build and run simple programs using coding blocks.Test, identify, and fix problems in their programs.Advanced Track - Engineering Thinking & Python RoboticsAdvanced learners will take their robotics skills further through engineering thinking and real Python programming. Students will explore decomposition, robotic subsystems, motors and gears, and learn how Python code can directly control robotic hardware.Advanced Track Learning OutcomesApply decomposition to break robotic systems into manageable parts.Identify and understand key robotic subsystems.Explore how motors and gears affect speed, movement, and force.Write and run Python code to control robotic hardware.Test, debug, and improve their robotic programs.Materials Provided FREEAll materials required for the workshop will be provided free of charge by our organization, including:Laptop or tablet with SPIKE app installedLEGO SPIKE Prime kit with hub and motorsStudent coding worksheetsNo equipment is required. Students simply need to come ready to build, code, experiment, and create!If 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. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/67a1aa60-a59e-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1200-h599-dcc8c8d8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/lawrenceville/black-boys-code-gwinnett-county-think-like-a-coder-your-first-algorithm/100001999298598929 - **Event Categories**: it, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Lawrenceville - **state**: GA - **country**: United States - **location**: Georgia Gwinnett College - **lat**: 33.9802966 - **long**: -84.0047709 - **full address**: Georgia Gwinnett College, 1000 University Center Lane, Lawrenceville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Black Boys Code Gwinnett County - Think Like a Coder: Your First Algorithm - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1dc1f75174494e12038c140926d23d8a798eee3de3af85050cb218129cc73d85-rimg-w1200-h600-dc189888-gmir.jpg?v=1788223519 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Black Boys Code Gwinnett County - Think Like a Coder: Your First Algorithm being held? - **A:** Black Boys Code Gwinnett County - Think Like a Coder: Your First Algorithm takes place on Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Georgia Gwinnett College, 1000 University Center Lane, Lawrenceville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Black Boys Code Gwinnett County - Think Like a Coder: Your First Algorithm? - **A:** Black Boys Code Gwinnett County - Think Like a Coder: Your First Algorithm is organized by Black Boys Code USA. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
