IFTTT: BYODevice, Mobile friendly, have 4-6 recipes set up to show briefly & then set up with attendees in the workshop, paired up with CompSci event for STEM education

Follow-Up sessions: BYODevice, have a set question you will answer, attendees leave with something they can run/do on their own computer that is applicable to work they are doing.

90minute workshop (Google Sites, Wikipedia edit a thon) 5-10min Intro60 minute workshop10-15min Q/A discussion

20min for Q/A and demos

Topic Ideas

Teaching the app IFTTT to teach basic understanding of programming (If Then statements) used IFTTT intro tutorial & intro to what IFTTT is went through setting up the channels chose 6 channel connections that were easy to test and should the power of this tool provided 10min of Q/A and discussion. attendees walk away with a new tool & intro understanding of how programming works and

how we use it in our daily lives to make things easier on ourselves, less work. Using Google Sites to teach basic HTML/CSS -- (Can use WordPress too!)

walk away with knowledge of how to edit wikipedia pages a simple understanding of using wikis contribute to editing Wikipedia pages

Hour of Code -- focus on python programming, presentations from students/faculty, longer workshops focused on beg -- adv intermediate levels

Follow up workshops specifically focused on Students and Faculty -- but tailoring off of the workshops taught at the Hour of Code.

Writing simple scripts & how to execute these scripts on their computers (Mac or PCs)

Raspberry Pi workshop (on Pi Day) -- If unable to do get funding for Raspberry Pis -- use this day to teach a simple program in Python

Hour of Code but locally focused -- invite people who have attended workshops in the past if they’ve continued on their work to showcase the things they have done

2 hr event Presentations from the past months of workshops, opportunity for attendees to show what
