talks

Build Your First Interactive Web Page with JavaScript

Published:

This practical workshop introduced participants to the development of interactive web pages with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Beginning with a simple static interface, the session demonstrated how JavaScript can be used to respond to user actions, modify content, validate input, and control the behaviour of elements displayed in the browser.

JavaScript Fundamentals for Beginners

Published:

This introductory workshop presented the foundations of JavaScript to learners beginning their journey in web development. It introduced core concepts such as variables, data types, conditional logic, functions, and basic interaction with web pages.

From Problem to Program: Python Fundamentals for Beginners

Published:

This introductory workshop presented Python as an accessible language for learning the foundations of programming and computational problem-solving. Participants explored how everyday problems can be translated into structured instructions, represented through variables and data types, and solved through conditions, loops, and reusable functions.
