About the webinar: Have you learnt the fundamentals and want to figure out how the topics can be applied to help build a game? This webinar is about getting started with game development using the Pygame module of Python and reaching a point where you will be able to get tangible output within 1 hour. This can serve as a launchpad for your career in building advanced programming applications or even be a great way to help you with building your hobby projects. The coding language here will be Python 3. We shall learn the hello world of Pygame and create 3 simple programs involving Pygame methods. The attendees of the webinar will also be sent a Pygame cheat sheet. Date: Saturday, January 15, 2022. Time: 9am to 10am PST. Why you should do this webinar: Technology education expands creativity and accentuates logical reasoning. The two main pillars of STEM education are Electronics and Computer Science. Early exposure to computer science and computer programming also helps kids develop strong critical thinking skills, which will in turn help them in all areas of life. It’s a well known fact that there are millions of computing jobs out there but not enough people who know computer science and can hence do these jobs. This makes learning coding a golden opportunity. Even now, a sizable chunk of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) jobs are Computing (Computer Science / Computer Programming) jobs. The first step in learning a programming language would be to cover the basics. Once that is done, we need to learn the ways in which the code can be simplified and can be used in an application. Pygame is a simple Python module where we can try applying the basics of the Python and see visual output in a fun and easy manner. What will the webinar focus on: This webinar will focus on getting started with Game Development in Python. We will learn the techniques to build games and visual animations using Pygame. We will then use these concepts to create basic tangible outcomes in the class. This will allow a person to learn how to build Pygame based games by the end of the webinar.
