Computer's First Christmas Card: a Poetry/Coding workshop

By Glasgow Libraries

Overview

Poetry Coding Workshop with the Edwin Morgan Collection. An introduction to coding and poetry with Michael Mullen and Claire Quigley.

Want to try coding with a creative, Christmas twist? Come along to our Poetry/Coding workshop with the poet Michael Mullen and our STEM Co-ordinator, Dr Claire Quigley. Inspired by Edwin Morgan’s poem ‘The Computer’s First Christmas Card’, we’ll code our very own festive poem and leave with a handmade Christmas card! There will also be a chance to see some items from the Edwin Morgan collection.

No experience of coding or creative writing necessary.
