Workshops

The file system and the shell enviorment

In Workshop 1, we aim to even out differences in prior knowledge so that all new students have a basic understanding of their own laptop before they begin coding.
The workshop introduces the file system and the shell environment—two parts of the computer that will be widely used throughout the studies.

The first part covers the file system. How is the file system structured? Where is it located? And most importantly, how do you organize a good file system?

The second part of the workshop focuses on shell environments. Here, we’ll explore how the terminal is connected to the file system and how to use it effectively.
This is an interactive workshop where we will test our knowledge along the way, and we’ll wrap up with a fun group activity.

Please bring your own laptop.

The Presenters

Code design and writing reports

Code development cycle and  debugging

In the “Code Development Cycle” workshop, you’ll get an introduction to how to write and run code.
We will go through how to use text editors like VS Code, and show how you can use the terminal locally on your computer to compile programs, inspect results, and run them. We’ll also look at how different types of output files are connected to the code you’ve written.

Please bring your own laptop.

Github

The first part of the workshop provides an introduction to version control:
What is it? Why is it important? And how can Git and GitHub help manage your code more efficiently? The second part is hands-on. Through guided activities, students will get started using Git and GitHub - learning how to track file changes, manage repositories, and collaborate effectively with others. 

Please bring your own laptop.
