We'll start with a series of introductions from our hosts who will discuss the challenges set. Where we'll invite all attendees create teams and decide upon sessions they would like to attend. We'll then split off to attend the sessions that interest us.

Programme for the day can be found here.

ScalaBridge Coding Session

This workshop is intended to reach out to women, non-binary people, and all underrepresented populations who are interested in learning Scala.

In this workshop, you'll learn the basics of functional programming in Scala, a powerful programming language. By the end of the day, you'll have built several doodles using Creative Scala, have a basic understanding of functional programming, and a grasp of Scala fundamentals.

Previous programming experience is NOT required.
