Coding Grace May Newsletter & Upcoming events


Summer's here, and workshops are coming!
Wow, it's May already and we had some good sunshine (although a scarf and jacket is still needed).
I am planning a Python workshop (or maybe two), and currently have Register your Interest form for those who are interested: https://ti.to/coding-grace/learn-python-through-making-a-text-based-adventure-game
Plus I have an anonymous survey to gather info on what day/time suits folks so we can figure out when to host the workshop(s). https://codinggrace.typeform.com/to/YvvFjk

(Sat Apr 2) More photos from Animation & Augmented Reality Workshop with Pete McNally (Havok) on Photogrammetry & Augmented Reality with Sam and Alex (Daqri) with AR Toolkit kindly hosted by Dogpatch Labs.

It's been a particularly quiet month due to my part-time gig at Dogpatch Labs as their Tech Community Liaison and Events Coordinator, so apologies for any delayed responses or if you are waiting for my replies. Please bump your emails and I'll respond tout suite.

Here's some links of interest that I pinned for this month. Do let me know if you want me to include a link to share with folks.
Any enquiries or if you want to help, please email contact@codinggrace.com.
Thanks,
