Name Your Function

Participants will run pre-programmed Python code snippets and rename with appropriate, readable English.

Participants are part of a simulated international software development project. After watching a demonstration of the activity, participants will be presented a series of 10 or 12 "anonymized" Python functions and code snippets. About half of these will be using the Turtle graphics module. Participants will run a number of these, picking one or more of them to rename with an appropriate English name, understandable to both Japanese and non- Japanese developers.

Who is this event for?

This event is for people who have some programming experience and want to learn more about how to use English when writing code.
