Introduction to Spreadsheets
​
Speaker: Andrew Gao
​Time: 7/18, 7:00-8:00 PM

This will be a one-hour seminar all about spreadsheets, specifically Google Sheets (though many skills will apply to Excel and other spreadsheet programs too). The seminar will cover basic spreadsheet skills such as formatting, formulas, logic, math, and more! It will also showcase fun and real-world applications of spreadsheets, including anything from games to school to even finances. Students will be able to complete a project by the end of the seminar and be able to harness the power of spreadsheets for their future endeavors. Due to the more complex nature of spreadsheet programming, this seminar is recommended for students entering grades 7-12, though everyone is welcome and no prior coding or computer science knowledge is necessary. Sign up—spreadsheets and the world of computer science can be yours!
