You just need to show up.The Coding Track is a free, four-session series that takes you from zero to running your own Python programs — using both block-based visual coding and AI tools to do it. No tech background required. No experience needed. Just curiosity and a device.WHAT HAPPENS IN EACH SESSIONSession 1 — How Computers Think: Discover the logic behind every program ever written — through visual block coding, without typing a single line of syntax. You'll run your first program and leave with a personalized Greeting Program you built yourself.Session 2 — Decisions, Repetition, Functions: Take your skills into real Python. You'll write actual .py files, run them in a terminal, and understand how professional code is structured. You'll leave with a working Python script you can run on any computer.Session 3 — You Are The Director: This is where AI changes everything. You'll learn how to prompt AI tools to generate Python code for you — and then read it, understand it, and run it. No more "I can't code." Just results.Session 4 — Make It Yours: Customize your AI-generated program, learn how to debug when things break, and showcase your finished work to the class in a live Lightning Showcase. You'll leave with an improved, working Python program that is entirely yours.COME TO ONE. COME TO ALL.Each session builds on the last, but any session can be attended on its own.
