+++++ +1: CodeCombat
+ CodeCombat is an online multiplayer game that requires players to utilise code to complete various levels. Unlike typical games which are rigidly based on superficial input, CodeCombat centers itself on tasking players to directly script and code the behaviours of their characters. No WASD keys, R1 to fire, etc. CodeCombat is of a higher level. Code to conquer. Ctrl W to quit. +
+ +++2: The Amazing Race
+Participate in an Amazing Race style online competition with multiple stages and tasks based on computing related topics. Participants will be working in groups to tackle a variety of programming problems, each relating to a H2 Computing topic or BBCS workshop. At the end of each stage, participants will play a little scavenger hunt to look for the hidden password which will eventually unlock the final puzzle. Members will have to work together to overcome these unique programming tasks. +

+ +++Introduction to Python๐ (Completed)
+ +By the end of the workshop, participants would learn
+-
+
- The basics of python +
- If statements, lists, loops +
- Create some simple programs (e.g. mark to grade converter/calculator) +
Prerequisites: Nothing much other than a desire to learn!
+ +View Video +
+ ++Introduction to Web Development ๐ (9 May & 17 May)
+
+
Learning to build a efficient web application quickly is increasingly important. This workshop (and more) will equip you with the skills and tools to build your own web application. Here are some of the tools you will learn!
Flask is used as a web-framework. This will form the basis for the web-application.
Participants will also learn about the basics of HTML (Markup Language for the Web) and CSS (Casacading Style Sheets for nice designs), along with other frameworks to improve their website's user interface and experience.
+SQL forms an important part in our applications, by helping to store a variety of user data!
+Participants will explore the concepts of: +- normalized databases +- simple sql queries +- various sql technologies and their pros and cons + +
Prerequisites: Basic Knowledge of Python (Intro to Python Workshop) +
+ ++Introduction to Javascript ๐โโ๏ธ (10 May)
+ +JavaScript is an extremely popular programming language used primarily by Web +browsers to create a dynamic and interactive experience for the user. +Most of the functions and applications that make the Internet +indispensable to modern life are coded in some form of JavaScript. +
+At the end of the course, participants will be able to create a simple discord bot +that tells you the time using nodejs +
+ ++Introduction to noSQL ๐ (13 May)
+ +After learning SQL, why not learn NoSQL? NoSQL databases (aka "not only SQL") are non tabular, and store data differently than relational tables (aka SQL).
NoSQL databases come in a variety of types based on their data model. The main types are document, key-value, wide-column, and graph. They provide flexible schemas and scale easily with large amounts of data and high user loads. + +
Prerequisites: Basic Knowledge of Python (Intro to Python Workshop), Github account +
+ ++Introduction to Cybersecurity ๐ป (16 May)
+ +Cyberattacks are increasingly becoming more common, while our reliance on digital systems has increased significantly. A sound understanding of cybersecurity principles would thus go a long way in helping to ensure one stays cyber secure.
+ +In this course, we will be embarking on a Capture-the-Flag style competition where participants will go through some Basic Web/ Forensics/ Cryptography Concepts. + +
Prerequisites: Basic Knowledge of Python would be helpful (Intro to Python Workshop) +
+ ++Introduction to Open Computer Vision with Python ๐ท (17 May & 23 May)
+
+
Part 1
+Open CV is a powerful library used to analyse images and videos! Equip +youselves with the knowledge about the various Open CV features. In Part 1, +we will be introducing the fundamentals of opencv, starting with Trackbars and +Histograms (both static and video analysis) + +
Part 2
+In Part 2, We will be learning how to make use of the slider trackbars to isolate +certain colors of an image. We will also explore the math behind Canny Edge +Detection. Participants will also get to embark on a future project! + +
Prerequisites: Basic Knowledge of Python (Intro to Python Workshop) +
+ ++Introduction to Git ๐ฒ (29 May)
+Open source development is increasingly prevalent in software development, powering many devices that we use daily. Originally developed for the managing the Linux Operating System, Git is an extremely powerful tool for managing computing projects.
+Participants will learn what Git is and how it is different from GitHub, what programmers can use Git for, learn to perform basic operations (commit, pull etc) using a Git GUI Client, perform simple collaborative operations (merge, forking) and understand the use of pull requests in working on public open source projects + +
Prerequisites: A little knowledge of terminal/Command Prompt commands would be helpful but not essential +
+ ++Introduction to Unity ๐ฎ(30 May)
+Participants will be introduced to the the Game Loop, 2D Space, Collision detection, and make a simple game involving moving the player character. + +
Prerequisites: Knowledge of C# programming would be useful, but not required. +As for programming knowledge, its mainly going to be variables: ++
+and if else statements:+Vector3 direction = new Vector3(1,1,1); ++
++
+ ++if (Input.GetButtonDown('Jump')){ + transform.translate(direction); +} ++
