Learning Python Programming for non-programmers

Python is a cross-platform programming language which is a popular choice for novice and advanced programmers. The design of python emphasizes the readability of code, making it easier for beginning programmers to learn.

In this class we will look at the basic framework of python programming and explore how to begin to design programs in python.

Who this class is for: People who are NOT trained programmers, but are interested in getting started with learning python. This class is OPEN to the public. You do not have to be a member of Workshop 88 to attend.

What you should bring to the class: Your own laptop on which you should download and install one of the stable versions of python from the python website.

What you will get from the class: understanding of the python interpreter, how python classes are used, a basic understanding of how to write programs in python

3D printing – a primer

Model 500 Plugbox Render (top)3D printing is a great way to rapidly produce small parts for just about anything you can think of.

Workshop 88 has a 3D printer that we use often to make things for use in our projects. If you’d like to see what 3D printing is all about firsthand, this demonstration is for you!

This class is OPEN to the public! You do not have to be a member of Workshop 88 to attend. Registration for this is $5.00

What you should bring – something to take notes with and all your questions about 3D printing.

What you will get from this session – you will see how the 3D printing process works, from concept to finished part. If you are a Workshop 88 member, you will get the knowledge and experience necessary to start using the Workshop 88 Makerbot.
