Using the visual app, school students can continue to learn, inspire and collaborate! ImageGorm uses Python, the world’s most popular programming language, and can then be used on countless other sites and applications. These workshops are conducted in English.

As part of “Tekla Workshop and Dialogue 2021”, a creative programming workshop in Latvian is available online at Riga Tekjirls Facebook, where students can try out the basics of JavaScript and create their own creative solutions and unusual animations.
