<DIV><STRONG>When and where are the workshops held? </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>Workshop 1: December 10th, 10:30am - 3:00pm. Meeting room 4A, State Library of Queensland, Stanley Place, South Brisbane QLD 4101</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Should I take one or two workshops? </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>The workshops can be taken separately and both workshops assume no prior programming experience.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>However, the two workshops cover different topics in Python and it is highly recommended to take both to gain a more thorough understanding of the Python programming language. The first workshop also links well into the second workshop, with both workshops using the same dataset.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>If I can only take one workshop, which one should I take?</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>This is completely up to you! Both workshops assume no prior programming experience and can be taken separately.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>What do your students say about Code Change workshops? </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>One of our students, Tristan has said: </DIV>
<DIV>"Learning from Code Change was very different to learning online or in a traditional classroom. The workshops were hands on, interactive and I took away far more than I’d expected to in a 3 hour session."</DIV>
