On Monday, October 12th The Young Coders Society visited Maimonides School in Brookline, MA for a much anticipated coding event.  After taking a break for pizza, a group of eight students gathered together in a classroom for two hours of fun and exploration of programming.  Starting with an unboxing of the Raspberry Pi’s, each student took the time to assemble the mini computers and discovered what each component was for.  Once the students had built their computers we booted up to the desktop and practiced writing very simple programs in Python (Hello World!).  Once we had gotten the hang of it, we moved on to practicing programming by writing scripts that would alter Minecraft.  Making blocks appear and teleporting their character around the map, students were able to write their own Python programs that would directly affect the game.  At the end of the class each student got to take their Raspberry Pi home for further fun and exploration with coding.
