About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Turing School of Software & Design is excited to offer this virtual Try Coding Workshop. This online class is a great way for anyone interested in programming to learn more about how we teach software development at Turing. 

This class will be led by a Turing instructor in the virtual classroom who will guide you and other attendees through a structured curriculum where you will write code, learn about Front End and Back End software development, and get a taste of being a student at Turing.

At Turing, we work in highly collaborative and interactive settings. This event will be no different. Be prepared to have your camera on, come off mute to share thoughts and ask questions, and engage in conversations about coding concepts.

No prior knowledge in coding is necessary to participate in this event, just a growth mindset, positive attitude, and willingness to learn!

Important Information: you will not be able to access our small group instruction and breakout rooms unless your Zoom is updated. Please make sure you have zoom installed on your computer and that it's updated.

Additional information is located at the bottom of this page in the FAQ section. 

Why You, Why Now?

Because you have nothing to lose! If you've ever wondered about software development as a career option - try it. 

Further Questions?

We want to answer them! If you have any questions at all about this event, our other events, or general questions about Turing School of Software and Development, please reach out to us at trycoding@turing.edu. We look forward to hearing from you!

Frequently asked questions

How will I connect to the virtual session?

You will need a computer for this class that can connect to the internet and operates Zoom. When we send a pre-work reminder for the class (2 days before) we will send specific information on how to connect to the Zoom classroom we will be using. We recommend that you download Zoom now to ensure it

What equipment should I have for this online class?

A computer that can connect to the internet via a web browser. We recommend using headphones to minimize distractions and ensure you can access the information. It will also be beneficial to find a quiet working space where you will be able to focus during the duration of the course.

Are kids welcome?

This is a course designed for professional-level adults and is not designed for kids. We ask that individuals under age 18 do not register to attend.

I’ve already practiced some code as a hobby or through CodeAcademy. Will I still benefit from this?

This course is designed for people who are brand new to code and have never tried it before. That doesn’t mean that those with some experience aren’t welcome or will not benefit from it. Even if you have experience coding, it’s a great way to learn about the Turing community if you are interested in

What is the refund policy?

If for any reason you can’t make it to the event, tickets are refundable up to 24 hours before. If the event has passed then we are happy to transfer your ticket to any upcoming Try Coding.
