Use Python to Edit All Your Images

You've probably used Python to build simple games, make simple programs that read and write files or analyse the data from your website. But did you know that you could also be using it to edit your images? Perhaps you need to crop an image? Change its colour balance? Add a logo? Or just resize the image? This is where Python brings its power to bear and lets you do all of these actions with just a few simple programming steps using the Pillow library.
In this Fire Tech Experience, as well as demonstrating how common editing tasks can be achieved and chained together, the instructor will look at how images are stored in files and how to build tools that interact with specific elements of this data.
FireTech Experiences are a new series of short, high interest, fun and engaging tech demonstrations and talks. These are delivered in webinar style, using Zoom, with the main expert tutor showcasing a new interesting aspect of technology and learning. Apart from Zoom, no other downloads are required.

Teen Coding With Python - Build Amazing Projects

Develop your understanding of Python by working on real-world projects. Build fantastic desktop apps, websites and videogames, and hack on any project from your own imagination!
In this advanced course, you'll spend time learning how to build websites using the Flask web framework that is used by Netflix, Uber and Lyft to power parts of their infrastructure. Next, you'll learn how to build desktop apps using a professional-grade GUI library. Then you'll move on to look at how Python is used in Data Science and Machine Learning, before spending further time building video games using the Pyglet library. Finally, you'll get a chance to hack on a project of your own devising based on one of the topics you've covered earlier in the course.
Whether you dream of building the next million-pound start-up, working at Facebook or Google, or becoming a Data Scientist, this course will give you a valuable skill to build a rewarding career in whatever field you choose. 
The course will assume all students have at least a familiarity with Object-Oriented Programming and will give you the opportunity to develop this more fully by solving real-world problems. If you're interested in studying Computer Science to A-Level and beyond or are just fascinated by programming this course will help you extend your knowledge further.

Python with Minecraft

Minecraft is an engaging environment that allows fans of all ages to exercise their creative powers, make exciting worlds and populate them with creatures and objects. One of the neat features of Minecraft is that it is possible to "hack" the Minecraft game with real Python code. Our students use Python to automate the building of huge structures, code shortcuts, and build a "game within the game".
Python is one of the world's most popular programming languages it is used by everyone from companies that are household names such as Instagram, Dropbox and Pinterest through to schools and colleges teaching the programming aspects of GCSE, A-Level and Degree Level Computer Science Courses. This course will help introduce students to the language in a fun, enjoyable way. Our Tutors will teach students how to set up a server on their local machine that will allow them to write Python code which will have an effect in the Minecraft world.
Over the course of the week, the students will program a number of elements in Minecraft using Python. This will build up to them creating a project on the final day, which may be an interactive game within Minecraft, it might be a huge structure that will be created at the snap of their fingers or it may be something imaginative which we haven't even thought of.
