This workshop covers the history of ASCII art and walks through how to make your own ASCII art images using Python. The session is light in tone and differentiated for students of different abilities with challenges for advanced students and step by step instructions for first time programmers.
Come along to this workshop for a short talk about what ASCII art is and its history, an interactive tutorial of how you can use Python and Pillow to take images from the internet and your webcam and turn them into ASCII art, and an opportunity to show off your new skills by building something cool.
