Hello world!

This coding club will work through one theme, language, and major project a month. The session on the second Wednesday of the month is the best entry point, as the session on the fourth Wednesday of the month will directly build on what was learned on the previous session.

We'll be picking projects and languages based on the interests of attendees of the last month's programs - the instructor has experience with Web Development (HTML/CSS/JS), Python and its libraries, Scratch and Game-making, Bash and Linux usage, and will be focusing on skills that are cross-transferable between languages.
